In this second part of our special episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, celebrating National Ag Day, Dr. Jean Noblet, a consultant in monogastric nutrition, continues to explore energy utilization in swine feeds. He breaks down the debate over the energy value of soybean meal relative to corn, the role of net energy systems, and the impact of caloric efficiency on feed formulation. Listen now on all major platforms!

"I think we should use the same system, and the system should be consistent for all the ingredients that are available, either cereals or protein-rich ingredients or fat sources."

Meet the guest: Dr. Jean Noblet is a retired researcher from INRAE (National Institute for Agricultural Research) in France. He holds an Agronomist Engineer degree and a Ph.D. in Nutrition. His expertise lies in energy and protein nutrition of swine, poultry, and calves, with major contributions to calorimetry methods, feed energy evaluation, and modeling of energy requirements. He has authored over 220 peer-reviewed papers and developed key nutrition software, InraPorc and EvaPig.
