Understanding and Applying Nutrition Concepts to Reduce Nutrient Excretion in Swine – Description of a Slide Set and Script

North Carolina State University Animal Science Fact Sheet ANS01-814S. Nutrient management is an issue of critical importance to the swine industry. Nutritional strategies that can reduce nutrient excretion by swine have been described in detail in a previous publication (van Heugten and van Kempen, 2000. Understanding and Applying Nutrition Concepts to Reduce Nutrient Excretion in Swine. AG-608, North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service). To aid in teaching from this publication, a detailed slide set with script 1 is available. This slide set is ideal for presentation to interest groups, such as swine producers, policy makers, the allied industry, and the general public. An outline and a brief description of the slide set are presented in Table 1. The slide set and script (on CD) are available from Extension Swine Husbandry at North Carolina State University or can be downloaded from the worldwide web at: http://mark.asci.ncsu.edu/Nutrition/Environ/nutrenviron.htm
