- Comparative digestibility of energy and nutrients in diets fed to sows and growing pigs. Jessica Lowell is a recent Master's degree recipient from the Stein Nutrition Lab. In this podcast, she discusses her research on the comparative digestibility of crude protein, NDF, and energy in diets fed to gestating sows and growing pigs. Adapted from a presentation at the 2014 ASDA-ASAS-CSAS Joint Annual Meeting, Kansas City, Missouri, July 20-24.
- Effect of fiber and fat on calculated values for standardized total tract digestibility of calcium in fish meal. Caroline González-Vega, Ph. D. candidate in the Stein Nutrition Lab, discusses the results of two experiments on the digestibility of calcium in fish meal. The studies used corn based diets as well as cornstarch-based (semisynthetic) diets, and the results have implications for the use of semisynthetic diets in digestibility studies. Adapted from a presentation at the 2014 ASDA-ASAS-CSAS Joint Annual Meeting, Kansas City, Missouri, July 20-24.
- Prediction of concentrations of digestible, metabolizable, and net energy in soybean meal from throughout the United States fed to pigs. Kelly Sotak, a Ph. D. candidate in the Stein Monogastric Nutrition Lab, shares the results of her research into digestible, metabolizable, and net energy concentrations in soybean meal from four regions of the United States. Adapted from a presentation at the 2014 ASAS Midwestern Section meeting, Des Moines, IA, March 17-19.
- Retention and digestibility of Zn, Cu, Mn, and Fe in pigs fed diets containing inorganic or organic micro minerals. Dr. Yanhong Liu is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Stein Monogastric Nutrition Lab. In this podcast, she reports on research to determine the digestibility and retention of micro minerals in pigs fed either inorganic or organic sources of zinc, copper, manganese, and iron. Adapted from a presentation at the 2013 ASDA-ASAS Joint Annual Meeting, Indianapolis, IN, July 8-12.
- Energy and amino acid digestibility in animal protein sources fed to weanling pigs. Yanhong Liu is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Stein Monogastric Nutrition Lab. In this podcast, she reports on research to determine the digestibility and retention of micro minerals in pigs fed either inorganic or organic sources of zinc, copper, manganese, and iron. Adapted from a presentation at the 2013 ASDA-ASAS Joint Annual Meeting, Indianapolis, IN, July 8-12.
