In this episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Béatrice Sauvé discusses the impact of mycotoxins on swine health and nutrition. Dr. Sauvé explains her research on calcium and phosphorus metabolism in pigs affected by deoxynivalenol (DON), highlighting its influence on bone mineral content and vitamin D status. Tune in to explore practical strategies for mitigating mycotoxin effects and enhancing pig health through dietary adjustments. 

"Bone mineral content gain is reduced despite increased calcium and phosphorus digestibility in the presence of DON."
