The Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast - Dr. Rony Riveros: Precision Nutrition for Sustainable Poultry | Ep. 149

In this special episode of The Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, marking Earth Day, we welcome Dr. Rony Riveros, a postdoctoral researcher specializing in energy metabolism, mineral metabolism, and nutritional modeling in broilers and laying hens, who explores how precision nutrition and mathematical modeling can drive more sustainable poultry production. He explains how dynamic nutritional models replace static table values to better reflect real flock conditions, and discusses how smarter raw material utilization, including alternative ingredients like insect meal, can reduce environmental excretion and improve efficiency. Listen now on all major platforms!

What you'll learn:  

• Precision nutrition modeling
• Dynamic vs. static values
• Sustainability beyond environmental impact
• Alternative feed ingredients
• Modeling sustainability goals
