Lab activities

Kate finished an experiment on phosphorus digestibility in canola meal, and started an experiment on the effects of two enzyme products on amino acid digestibility.

Ferdinando started an experiment to evaluate the effects of heat damaging sunflower meal on its amino acid digestibility.

Travels

Dr. Stein was in Minnesota on March 28 to give a talk at the Professional Swine Conference organized by Forma Feed. The talk was titled, "Use of DDGS and corn co-products in diets fed to pigs".

Dr. Stein, Dr. Song, Ferdinando, Oscar, Diego, Caroline, Jin, Neil, John, and Jessica traveled to the 2012 ADSA-ASAS Midwest Sectional Meeting in Des Moines, Iowa on March 19-21. Jin presented an abstract, and Stein Lab alumni Jung Wook Lee, Dr. Sarah Cervantes-Pahm, and Dr. Grant Petersen presented posters.

Accomplishments

Dr. Minho Song and Dr. Sarah Cervantes-Pahm were recognized as 2012 ASAS Midwest Section Animal Science Young Scholars by the American Society of Animal Science. They recieved their awards at the Midwest Meeting in Des Moines, Iowa.
