61 - Dr. Vitor Hugo Cardoso Moita: Xylanase and phytase: benefits for swine production

It is a well-established fact that feed enzymes can promote growth and optimize nutrient utilization in animal production, but how much do we still need to learn about its effects on swine? In this episode, I talk with Dr. Vitor Moita about some of the studies he performed testing and evaluating the impact of xylanase and phytase on the gut microbiota, bone health, and nutrient digestibility in nursery and growing pigs.
