Roundtable: Fiber Importance in Swine | Ep. 176

The usage of fiber in swine diets has come a long way in the past 50 years. Throughout this time, we have been continuously learning more about how it can positively affect swine growth and what nutrients it can actually provide. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Marc Decoux about how fiber is used differently across the globe, how we can continue to learn more about all of the available types, and when it is most beneficial to include it in the diets of pigs.“I have had conversations about fiber in the US that our team would never have had 50 years ago, so things are moving fast." - Dr. Marc DecouxWhat you’ll learn:(00:00) Highlight(00:35) Introduction(02:06) The use of fiber in the EU vs. in the USA(07:00) How to understand different fiber measurements(15:20) How to help producers understand ROI(20:40) Recommended fiber sources in the US(25:49) The benefits of feeding swine with fiber during gilt development(29:37) Famous 3 questionsMeet the guest: Dr. Marc DecouxExperience:Current: Senior Technical Lead-Pork at CargillBackground:Ingénieur agronome DAA, Biology, Agronomy, Animal Production (AgroParisTech)Diplôme d'Agronomie Approfondie (DAA), Productions animales (AgroParisTech)Connect with the guest on Social Media: LinkedIn𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝘀, 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺.Give us a Rating & Review - http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1460280128
