Welcome to our 200th episode!! Time flies, right? To celebrate this history, we have invited Dr. Trey Kellner as our guest to share his experiences and answer questions about the daily routine of a swine nutritionist. As we all well know, swine nutritionists have an important role to play and contribute a lot to our industry by optimizing pig diets, improving feed efficiency, and enhancing pork production quality. They are also key to advancing our sustainability strategies by reducing feed waste and addressing environmental challenges. So, as a swine nutritionist himself, Dr. Kellner sheds light on the routine, time management, and client interactions of a swine nutritionist – and gives some insights and tips as well -, and why providing effective feedback is something we must all do.“The ability of swine nutritionists to predict performance plays a vital role in a production team: it enables effective financial management by optimizing feed costs, the largest source of expenses on our operations.” - Dr. Trey KellnerWhat you’ll learn:(00:00) Highlight(01:42) Introduction(03:30) The routine of a swine nutritionist(05:42) Managing the time and schedule(13:32) Daily observations of the farm(17:21) Checklists to do visiting a barn(24:12) Providing feedback(28:04) What's the recommended market monitoring frequency?
