The Nutritionist – Details, episodes & analysis

Our own, Tom Tylutki, will use the CNCPS-based AMTS formulation model to look at the effect various feeds and diets will have on emissions. The excretion and emission equations in the CNCPS allow you to formulate with those results in mind. Tom discusses some of the thoughts and products mentioned in earlier webinars but then pivots some what to look at where real efforts can be placed. What are the best strategies. For more of Tom’s past formulation focused webinars; look at 2015, 2016, 2020, Feb 2021, and Oct 2021
