Research Focus in Swine
Nutrition the Past 10 Years
- Nutrition of
the sow during gestation and lactation.
- Amino acid
and mineral requirements for maximum growth, efficiency,
and leanness.
- Bioavailability
of minerals (phosphorus, copper).
- Assessment
of metabolic modifiers (pST, ß-agonists, chromium picolinate,
betaine).
- Interrelationship
of pig nutrition with genetics, environment, and metabolic
modifiers.
- Dietary manipulation
to reduce nutrient excretion and odor.
- High performance
starter diets for early-weaned pigs.
- Assessment
of antibiotics and other growth promotants.
- Assessment
of dietary enzymes (phytase, others).
- Assessment
of genetically modified feedstuffs.
- Assessment
of new by-product feedstuffs.
- Growth modeling.
