#200 - Dr. Trey Kellner: A Day in the Life of a Swine Nutritionist

Hey there,

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.
