During the 2024 PSC producer meetings, held in collaboration with Zoetis and PIC, nutrition researcher at the Prairie Swine Centre Dan Columbus gave a presentation titled ‘Advances in nutrition for pig health’. In this presentation, Dan showed how more dietary amino acids are used for maintenance and less for growth during an immune challenge, suggesting amino acid requirements are higher during a disease outbreak. He then talked about his research trials using functional amino acids in pigs challenged with salmonella.
