In this special re-run episode of The Feed Science Podcast Show, we bring back our conversation with Dr. Young Dal Jang from the University of Georgia, who talks about the role of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) in nursery pig diets. Dr. Jang covers the nutritional advantages of MCFAs, such as their ability to increase energy and help reduce post-weaning diarrhea. He also shares valuable insights into their antimicrobial effects and the potential cost-saving benefits for swine producers. Tune in now on all major platforms!

"Medium-chain fatty acids are more polar and are absorbed quickly into the portal vein, offering a fast energy source for pigs."

Meet the guest: Dr. Young Dal Jang is an Assistant Professor of non-ruminant nutrition at the University of Georgia, with extensive experience in swine nutrition research across nursery, growing, and finishing systems. His work focuses on energy utilization, vitamin and trace mineral nutrition, and feed additive evaluation.
