Dr. R. Dean Boyd: Soybean Meal Net Energy - Part 1 | Ep. 178
In this episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. R. Dean Boyd explores the principles behind soybean meal net energy in swine diets. He explains why traditional book values may underestimate their actual energy contribution and highlights how recent estimates can better reflect modern pig performance. This discussion breaks down the science behind energy systems and explains why updating these values is important for today’s production. Listen now on all major platforms!
"The story of soybean net energy is really the tale of two sides of the same coin. Book values, which are equation-based, underestimate what the pig’s response actually is."
Meet the guest: Dr. R. Dean Boyd, Ph.D., is the head of Animal Nutrition Research, LLC, and serves as an adjunct professor in Animal Science at both North Carolina State and Iowa State Universities. Dr. Boyd has held key academic positions and led large-scale nutrition programs for the Hanor Company and Triumph Foods group. His research focuses on energy systems, amino acid nutrition, and ingredient evaluation in swine production.
