Swine it Podcast Canada ? by Wisenetix
The brightest minds of the Canadian swine industry – in your pocket.
We ask a lot from our sows and put great effort into improving their performance. However, in many cases, they don't produce enough milk and colostrum in order to sustain the maximum growth of the piglets. That's why optimizing the milking capacity of sows and stimulating their mammary development is so essential – that’s also why we have invited one of the pioneers in that topic for today’s episode: Dr. Chantal Farmer.
From Canada to the whole world, Dr. Farmer's vast experience and research have contributed a lot to the global swine industry, especially regarding sow lactation biology. She explains the details of mammary development and shares the results of her recent studies in this area, bringing her perspective on practical improvements for sow farms that producers should consider making.?

9 个月Swine it Podcast Canada ? by Wisenetix Thank you for transmitting this type of interviews Incredibly practical and extremely helpful. I really like it. I also agree with her point of view about success: if your work isn't adopted by producers, its impact stops there. True success is achieved when research makes a tangible difference in the real world. ??
