Travel
Dr. Stein travelled to the Philippines and participated in swine nutrition seminars for Filipino nutritionists organized by USSEC (the United States Soybean Export Council) and the company Nuevo Melenio. He gave three presentations:
- Sources of energy and protein in diets fed to pigs.
- Value-added soybean products
- Heat damage and Maillard reactions of feed ingredients
He also went to the University of the Philippines at Los Baños and gave a talk for faculty and graduate students entitled "Digestibility of energy and nutrients by pigs."
While there, he met with Dr. Rommel Sulabo, former MS student and postdoc in our lab, and also had a chance to meet Dr. Ameer Pahm and Dr. Sarah Cervantes-Pahm, both former PhD students in our lab.
