ICN Program to Feature ISU Swine Nutrition Research Results
AMES, Iowa -- Swine producers who are interested in the latest swine nutrition research information should attend the Iowa Communications Network program, "Food for Thought on Feeding for Profit," on March 26.

ISU swine nutritionist Tim Stahly will present an overview of current ISU research. ISU Extension swine specialist Tom Baas will talk about meat quality issues relating to Paylean and the implications of using Paylean in diets of 4-H/FFA show animals. Extension swine specialist Palmer Holden will speak on fiber in gestation diets and using a feed consumption budget. ISU Extension swine field specialist Larry McMullen will have results of a demonstration project on using phytase to reduce the phosphorus content of manure.
