On August 24th, Molly McGhee Ph.D. student passed her preliminary exam.

 

Conferences

Doctor Stein gave two online conferences: 

  • Aug. 6: about Digestibility of Calcium and Phosphorus by pigs, for Phytobiotics in Medellin, Colombia.
  • Aug. 20: Feeding hybrid rye to pigs, for Yankton Seed House, Yankton, SD.

 

Personnel changes

Andrea Mallea from Peru, join our team as a visiting scholar, she will work primarily at the Swine Research Center.
