The Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast - Dr. Oluyinka Olukosi: Resistant Starch in Poultry Diet | Ep. 142

In this part 2 episode of The Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Oluyinka Olukosi, Associate Professor at the University of Georgia, continues the conversation explaining how resistant starch influences gut health and performance responses in broilers. He discusses feeding duration, timing of inclusion, disease challenge models, and practical ingredient considerations for commercial diets. Dr. Olukosi highlights research-driven strategies that balance biological effects with economic feasibility for modern poultry systems. Listen now on all major platforms!
