Dr. Diego Lopez: Cheese Coproduct in Swine Nutrition | Ep. 193

In this episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Diego Lopez from Kansas State University explores the nutritional potential of a cheese coproduct in swine diets. He explains its amino acid digestibility, fat content, and fiber contribution, along with practical considerations such as cost and formulation accuracy. Discover how this ingredient may support pig performance and nutrition strategies. Listen now on all major platforms! "The cheese coproduct we used in our study is mainly cheese and soybean meal, which ensures great amino acid digestibility."
