Achievements

 On September 18th, Woongbi Kwon, he passed his preliminary exam, one step closer to reaching the great goal. Congratulations Woongbi!!!

On September 19th, we hosted a European team of soybean nutritionists and traders. Doctor Stein presented current challenges in the US pork business and discussed future developments. We also had time for a Campus tour.

 

Travel

Our students Vanessa Lagos, Hannah Bailey, Su A Lee, Diego Rodriguez, Joseph Limbach, Cristhiam Muñoz and Woongbi Kwon participated in the 6th EAAP International Symposium on Energy and Protein Metabolism and Nutrition, Belo Horizonte- Brazil. They presented about their experiments, which is also published in our newsletter.

 

Doctor Hans Stein particpated in some conferences:

  1. On Sep. 4, in the Midwest Swine Nutrition Conference in Indianapolis, IN, and he gave a talk: “Amino Acid Requirements in high fiber diets fed to pigs”.
  2. From Sep. 23 to 25, he participated in the Feed Technology and Animal Nutrition Conference in Clark, Pampanga, The Philippines, and gave 4 presentations with the following titles:
    1. The amazing soybean
    2. Soybean Processing and how to avoid over-processing
    3. Amino Acid Requirements in high fiber diets fed to pigs
    4. Net energy systems for swine
  3. On Sep. 26, Dr. Stein visited the feed company the Red Dragon Feed in San Fernando, Pampanga, the Philippines and gave a presentation “Processing of soybean products to avoid over-processing”.
  4. On Sep. 27, He visited with nutritionists from San Miguel Feed Company, Metro Manila, the Philippines. He gave two talks entitled “Recent advances from nutrition research in the Monogastric Nutrition Laboratory, Univ. IL” and “ Value added soybean meals”.

Su A Lee gave a conference about "Effects of graded levels of phytase on digestibility of nutrients, growth performance, and bone ash in corn and soybean meal based diets fed to pigs", in the 80th Minnesota Nutrition Conference; Sep. 18-19, 2019 in Mankato, Minnesota.
