In this episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Daniel Rosales from South Dakota State University shares insights into his research on swine water intake and the effects of dietary components like phytase and distillers’ dried grains with solubles (DDGS). He discusses the sustainability implications of water usage in pig production and how optimizing diets can improve efficiency. Listen now on all major platforms!
"Water usage in livestock production is a growing concern, and optimizing swine diets to minimize unnecessary water consumption is becoming increasingly important."
