Su A started an experiment to determine and compare the digestibility and retention rate of calcium and phosphorus in gestating sows and growing pigs.

Jeru started a study of digestible and metabolizable energy in fish meal and three novel animal proteins fed to weanling pigs.

Travel

Dr. Stein spoke at the International Phytate Summit November 8-10 in Miami, Florida. He gave two presentations: one on "Calcium transporters and gene expression and absorption of calcium in pigs," the other one "Establishing a digestible calcium requirement for pigs."
