Patrick Badger: Enhancing Feed Efficiency | Ep. 54 The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast

Pellet quality is an important factor for swine nutrition. That is because with high-quality pellets, pigs receive a balanced amount of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that stimulates a healthy growth. Also, good pellets can improve feed efficiency and reduce waste. For those reasons, research on pellet quality and ways to improve it is crucial for the success of swine nutrition and production. In this episode, Patrick Badger discusses some trials he conducted on pellet efficiency and quality, along with the effects of these aspects on grow-finishing pigs.
