#12 - Implications of gut health and microbiota in the performance of production animals - Dr. Todd Callaway
Gut health and microbiota play a crucial role in the performance and productivity of swine. Therefore, to ensure optimal pig production and health, it is essential to maintain a healthy gut microbiota. The question is: do we know how to do that? The answer may lie in unexpected places… In recent decades, research on the topic has grown, encompassing even other animals. In other words, studies about the impact of the gut microbiota on the health and productivity of other farm animals can provide valuable insights into the health and performance of pigs in particular. In this episode, Dr. Todd Callaway, from the University of Georgia, discusses the implications of gut health and microbiota on the performance of different animal species and their correlation to the swine microbiome. Interesting, right? Then listen to this full episode to get all of this information in just a handful of minutes!
