The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast

In this episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Tom Crenshaw from the University of Wisconsin-Madison continues the discussion on the complexities of managing phosphorus in swine diets. He talks about the physiological effects of overfeeding phosphorus and how it can interfere with important hormonal functions in pigs. Learn about ways to fine-tune phosphorus levels to boost animal health and lessen the environmental impact. Tune in for practical tips on improving nutrient efficiency!"When excess phosphorus is added to the diet, it can shut down many natural mechanisms, potentially harming the animal's health."Meet the guest:Dr. Tom Crenshaw, a professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for over 40 years, holds a Ph.D. in Animal Sciences from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. An expert in swine nutrition, his research has significantly impacted the industry, focusing on experimental design, swine models, and biosecurity. Connect with our guest on Social Media: LinkedInClick here to read the full research article!Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction (00:32) Phosphorus overfeeding (03:16) Hormonal responses(07:11) Calcium-phosphorus balance(09:23) Phosphorus digestibility (10:24) Practical application(12:51) Closing thoughtsThe Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast is trusted and supported by innovative companies like:- Kemin- Jyga- Phibro𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝘀, 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺.Website: Swine Nutrition Podcast ShowInstagram: Swine CampusLinkedIn: Swine Campus
