In today's episode, I welcomed Matt Oryschak, a PhD student at the University of Alberta. With over two decades of industry experience before returning to academia, he joins us to discuss the intricate balance between livestock production and ecological stewardship. He also examines the environmental narrative in agriculture, the benefits of upcycling, and the positive impacts of farming practices. Matt shares his current research on using fava beans in poultry feeds, an initiative driven by the need for sustainable domestic markets and improved crop rotation strategies in Canadian agriculture.
What you’ll learn:
- The role of fava beans in poultry diets
- Antinutritional factors in fava beans
