In this special rerun episode of The Swine it Podcast Show, we revisit our conversation with Dr. Kwangwook Kim, Assistant Professor at Michigan State University, who explores critical aspects of intestinal development and nutritional intervention in young pigs. He discusses the impact of early weaning on gut health, the challenges posed by E. coli infections, and the benefits of feed additives like beta-glucan and probiotics. Don’t miss the chance to listen to this informative episode, available on all major platforms.


"Once piglets are weaned, their gastrointestinal tract is fragile, not fully developed to absorb nutrients, and lacks proper immune function."

He holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Animal Sciences from the University of California, Davis, where he also served as a Postdoctoral Scholar and Graduate Student Researcher.
