Publications

Stein, H. H., O. Adeola, G. L. Cromwell, S. W. Kim, D. C. Mahan, and P. S. Miller. 2011. Concentration of dietary calcium supplied by calcium carbonate does not affect the apparent total tract digestibility of calcium, but decreases digestibility of phosphorus by growing pigs. J. Anim. Sci. 89:2139-2144.

Lab activities

Jin finished animal work for an experiment to determine amino acid digestibility in low Kunitz soybean meals.

Travels

Dr. Stein and Caroline traveled to Wisconsin on July 25-26 to discuss calcium and phosphorus nutrition with Dr. Thomas Crenshaw.

All the students in the group and Kate Horsman, and Dr. Stein travelled to New Orleans for the ADSA/ASAS Joint Annual Meeting held July 10-14. We presented the following 8 abstracts at the meetings:
