Dr. Marie-Pierre Létourneau Montminy: Bone Mineralization in Swine | Ep. 285

In this episode of The Swine it Podcast Show, Dr. Marie-Pierre Létourneau Montminy from Laval University explores bone mineralization in swine. The discussion focuses on calcium and phosphorus's role in animal growth and health, along with insights into optimizing these minerals for sustainable animal protein production. Learn how these key nutrients influence pig performance, growth, and sustainability in swine nutrition. Available on all major platforms."Bone is a living tissue that remains active throughout the life of an animal, undergoing constant turnover by osteoblasts and osteoclasts."Meet the guest: Dr. Marie-Pierre Létourneau Montminy is a professor at Laval University, Quebec, Canada. Her research focuses on sustainable animal protein production by optimizing phosphorus and nitrogen in pig and poultry diets. With a Ph.D. in animal science, she specializes in improving bone mineralization through calcium and phosphorus balance. What you will learn:(00:00) Highlight(01:19) Introduction(03:13) Bone mineralization dynamics(05:39) Measuring mineralization(09:59) Phosphorus in swine nutrition(13:19) Tools for on-farm measurement(17:46) Vitamin D's role in piglet health(23:01) Final three questionsThe Swine it Podcast Show is trusted and supported by innovative companies like: AB Vista- SunHy- Bioverse- AcuFast- Fortiva- National Pork Board- Trouw Nutrition- Adisseo- Standard Nutrition- dsm-firmenich𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝘀, 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺.Website: The Swine it Podcast ShowInstagram: The Swine it Podcast ShowLinkedIn: The Swine it Podcast Show
