Dr. Jean Noblet: Net Energy in Swine Nutrition - Part 2 | Ep. 163

In this second part of our special episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, celebrating National Ag Day, Dr. Jean Noblet, a consultant in monogastric nutrition, continues to explore energy utilization in swine feeds. He breaks down the debate over the energy value of soybean meal relative to corn, the role of net energy systems, and the impact of caloric efficiency on feed formulation. Listen now on all major platforms! "I think we should use the same system, and the system should be consistent for all the ingredients that are available, either cereals or protein-rich ingredients or fat sources."
