Episode Synopsis

Welcome to another insightful episode of The Feed Science Podcast Show. Today, I'm thrilled to have Dr. John Boney, an esteemed assistant professor from Penn State University, join us. Together, we'll dive into the intricate world of feed pellets, examining their quality and the significant role it plays in the distribution of nutrients on farms. We'll also navigate through the complexities of different feeder systems and their influence on pellet integrity. Plus, Dr. Boney sheds light on the challenges that feed mills face as they strive to harmonize the pace of production with the maintenance of pellet quality. "In long feed lines that run the length of a barn, we observed nutrient segregation, meaning the composition of feed can vary from one end to the other, regardless of pellet quality." What you'll learn:(00:00) Highlight(02:28) Introduction and professional background(04:22) Pellet quality and animal performance (07:59) Finding the right balance: pellet quality vs. costs(12:30) The effect of different conveyance systems on pellet quality (16:45) Investigating pellet quality(24:05) Nutrient segregation and its impact on performance (27:48) Final questionsMeet the guest: Dr. John BoneyExperience:Assistant Professor at The Pennsylvania State UniversityBackground:B.Sc., Animal Sciences (West Virginia University)M.Sc., Applied Poultry Nutrition and Feed Manufacturing (West Virginia University);Ph.D., Applied Poultry Nutrition and Feed Manufacturing (West Virginia University).Connect with the guest!The Feed Science Podcast Show is trusted and supported by innovative companies like:- Evonik- EastmanAre you ready to unleash the podcasting potential of your company? wisenetix.co/custom-podcast𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝘀, 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺.Instagram: The Feed Science Podcast Show LinkedIn: The Feed Science Podcast Show
