Nelson Arias: Distiller Grains in Pig Diets | Ep. 149

In this episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Nelson Arias, a Graduate student at the University of Illinois, shares findings from his research on high-protein distiller grains in pig diets. Nelson discusses the impact of different processing methods on nutrient values and potential benefits for swine nutrition. Tune in to understand how these findings could enhance nutritional strategies and improve feed efficiency in the swine industry. Listen now!

"As the ethanol industry expands, nutritional values in distillers grains are impacted, which affects their use in swine diets."

What will you learn:

• Ethanol industry's impact
• Digestibility variations
• Fiber's effect on energy
• Protein concentration effects
• Manufacturing process differences
