Soybean meal net energy has been found to be higher in commercial settings, which changes the formulation strategies and economics of soybean meal use in diets.
To find out more about this difference in soybean meal net energy and productive energy in commercial swine diets versus book values and how this improved understanding impacts formulation strategies for nutritionists and economic considerations we catch up with with Dr. Aaron Gaines, managing partner of Ani-Tek, LLC, and Dr. Bart Borg, vice president of feed and nutrition with Passel Farms.Gaines and Borg spoke at the Iowa Swine Day Pre-conference Symposium titled "Soybean Meal 360° — Expanding our horizons through discoveries and field-proven feeding strategies for improving pork production.” Gaines focused on soybean meal net energy and productive energy in commercial swine systems versus industry book values, while Borg talked about the practical application of this new information relative to the conventional low-cost ingredient formulation approach.

Swine health concerns can challenge pig livability and various avenues of sustainability like animal wellbeing and business continuity. There are Checkoff-funded tools producers can use to improve animal health, protect pigs and people with strict biosecurity, implement traceability standards, learn from already-established resources and explore potential solutions like gene editing.
Among the many topics of discussion that we had at World Pork Expo was that pig livability. Specifically, we looked into Check-off funded tools that producers can use to improve pig health. Our Ann Hess leads that conversation. While at Expo she sat down with Drs. Chris Hostetler, Director of Animal Science, Marisa Rotolo, Director of Swine Health and Brent Pepin, Director of Swine Health, all with National Pork Board.This episode has been sponsored by United Animal Health, a leader in animal health and nutrition.

The feed industry and regulatory officials are challenging media reports alleging the HPAI virus has spread to dairy cattle as a result of the consumption of chicken litter on farms.
Neither the U.S. Department of Agriculture nor the Food & Drug Administration have found a link to HPAI virus transmission in dairy cattle through chicken litter. Wild migratory birds are widely thought to be the likely cause of the transmission.
FDA also has stated that chicken litter does not pose an animal or public health threat warranting usage restrictions.
To find out more about what’s going on with dried poultry litter and HPAI, we catch up with Austin Therrell, executive director of the Association of American Feed Control Officials, to talk about why the link between the feed ingredient and HPAI in dairy cattle is unlikely.
