Lab activities
Kelly started an experiment to measure DE and ME values in soybean meal fed to growing pigs.
John finished animal work for an experiment to determine the requirement of SID lysine for 25 to 50 kg gilts.
Visitors
Dr. José Cuaron of INIFAP visited in January. He spoke to our lab about swine production in Mexico, and emerging issues in swine nutrition worldwide.
