  • #SHORTS: When we see the disease caused by Mycoplasma on the pigs, it's already too late - Dr. Maria Pieters

    Did you know that the pig’s microbiota has more than 400 species of fungi and bacteria yielding approximately 10 times more cells than those in the pig’s body?  These microbes are at the nexus of health and productivity as they communicate with each other and with the pig’s organs and systems.


    Phileo by Lesaffre is committed to pushing the boundaries of animal health, nutrition, and well-being to better nourish and feed our world. United with our partners, we are key influencers in the quest to discover, define, and manipulate the pig’s microbiome to significantly improve pig lifetime health and productivity. This podcast series is provided to help increase your understanding of these exciting and thought-provoking topics.

  • #08 - Mycoplasma and gut microbiome - how are they related? - Dr. Pedro Urriola and Dr. Maria Pieters

    As a Ph.D. student at Dr. Stein's lab at the University of Illinois, Pedro Urriola gained experience in swine nutrition research. His graduate course work at the University of Illinois focused on nutritional biochemistry, concepts in animal nutrition, nutrition of dietary fiber and essential fatty acids, regulation of food intake, and lactation biology. His professional long-term goal is an improvement of human well-being through research in agriculture by understanding the regulation of the nutrient metabolism of farm animals. Dr. Urriola is now a Research Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Minnesota, St. Paul.


    Maria Pieters was born in Venezuela, where she obtained her degree in Veterinary Medicine/Science from the Universidad Central de Venezuela (Maracay, Aragua) in year 2003. After obtaining her degree, María worked at the Swine Diagnostic Laboratory (EDV) before entering the career program at the University of Minnesota (St. Paul, MN), where she obtained her PhD in Veterinary Medicine/Science in 2008. During her doctorate María had, as her tutors, Dr. Carlos Pijoan and Thomas Molitor. In year 2008 she started working at the Institute for Genomic Biology at the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign, IL) for the obtaining of her post-doctorate degree at the Institute for Genomic Biology. Dr. Pieters is, currently, a researcher pertaining to the swine group at the University of Minnesota, where she works, specifically, at the Veterinary Population Medicine Department and the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory.
