Conferences

Dr. Stein gave conferences in:

  • On August 3, he gave a conference for USSEC, Latin America. Swine and Poultry Trade team. Champaign, IL. The conferences were about soybean meal analysis and fiber in swine nutrition.
  • August 10, for Smithfield Foods, Ames IA, about new research about sow nutrition.
  • August 11:
    • Dr. Stein presented a talk in International conference on swine nutrition, Iowa State University, Ames, IA, about towards increased accuracy of estimating net energy of diets and feed ingredients for ad libitum fed group housed pigs using the indirect calorimetry approach.
    • He also gave a talk for USSEC South East Asia, Animal Nutrition Working Group Seminar, Manila, The Philippines, about net energy and Reactive Lysine in soybean meal for precision nutrition.
  • August 16, DSM workshop on calcium nutrition in broiler chickens. Kaiseraugst, Switzerland, he talked about digestible calcium in pigs – method concepts, digestibility coefficients and learnings that could be applied to broilers.
  • August 19, for USSEC, Latin America, Seminar on Protein quality, Guadalajara, Mexico, about: Thermal processing impact on soybean meal quality.
  • August 23, Dr. Stein gave a talk in Byron Seeds, Field Day, Michigan City, IN, about nutritional value of high oil corn.
  • August 31, for USSEC, Latin America, Manhattan, KS. Aug. 31, 2021. Dr. Stein gave a talk about fiber in swine nutrition.

 

Personnel changes

Jimena Ibagon from Colombia and Megan Nelson from the US started as a students in fall. We also got a new visiting scholar from Peru, Juan Carlos Valencia and he will work at the farm. Dr. Vanessa Lagos left our lab to work as a Monogastric Researcher at Schothorst Feed Research in the Netherlands.

 

New experiments

Jimena Ibagon and Diego Rodriguez started a trial about "Concentration of net energy in three different sources of field peas with different particle sizes fed to growing pigs".
