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.

#10 - What can we learn from the entero-mammary pathway in sows? - Dr. Laura Greiner

Dr. Laura Greiner has spent years researching various phases of production, but we focus today's episode on body condition scores. BCS are used during gestation when a sow or gilt are heading into farrowing, and are vital for ensuring the best results during that time. Tune in to find out more on this episode of the PigX podcast!

Episode 5: Body Condition Scores with Dr. Laura Greiner

“(…) not the kind of animal we wanted to put into a farrowing house because she would be more likely to crush her litter and not effectively comfortably fit in the stall. We started to transition away from the back fat because as we looked at that female and really spend some time with her, the reality was that she was a leaner derived female and yet we were treating her like she was more fat and lean.” – Dr. Laura Greiner.  Today’s episode will cover “Sow feeding and research: Do’s and Don’ts”. Our guest is Dr. Laura Greiner, Assistant Professor at Iowa State University. Dr. Greiner holds a  Master of Science and a PhD both in Swine Nutrition and Immunology at Iowa State University then a Postdoctoral Training in Microbiology at the University of Iowa. What you will learn:  Changes on genetic lines from a feeding standpoint; Her thoughts on Gilt feeding; Key areas of research needed in sow feeding today; Lessons learned on applied sow research; What separates successful swine professionals from those that are not.  Laura’s favorite swine-related book: The Lactating Sow Edited by Lauro Faccin
