Webinar program and speakers
Presentation 1:
Cutting-edge diet formulation for piglets;
The importance of kinetics of protein digestion and dietary fiber fermentation
Neil Jaworski, Head of Nutrition, Formulation and Animal Modeling, Trouw Nutrition
In stressful situations the rate of digestion slow-down, and overall digestibility may drop. This could result in poorly digestible starch and protein, resulting in diarrhea, performance losses, and mortality. Through our extensive research and validation process, Kinetio technology has proven to be a way to improve the nutrition, performance and the cost of feeding of nursery piglets.
