In this episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Tom Crenshaw, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, explores the complex phosphorus requirements in sows. Focusing on optimizing phosphorus intake, Dr. Crenshaw discusses innovative research methods and challenges conventional nutritional approaches. Tune in on your preferred platform!

"The calcium-phosphorus ratio could be a useful tool rather than determining the digestibility values of the various ingredients or their combinations, with or without phytase, in the diet."
