#71 SNBB - Dr. Jorge Perez Palencia: Effects of different soybean meal levels in pig performance and cost-effectiveness

In swine, arginine participates in important functions related to the maintenance of intestinal health. However, nutritional practices for weaned pigs today may make the mistake of ignoring such crucial regulatory roles played by it regarding gut health and function. So in this episode, Dr. Jorge Perez Palencia discusses the research he has been working on that provides different levels of arginine to weaning pigs and analyzes their performance responses.
