Dr. Bob Kemp: Feed Efficiency in Pigs | Ep. 132

A successful swine operation is not only determined by who has the best quality pigs, but rather by who can achieve the highest profit per pig while also having the lowest input cost. In today’s talk, Dr. Bob Kemp discusses his research and methods to try and improve meat quality in pigs while also trying to maintain low input costs.
