This month, longtime friend of the podcast, Matt Romoser, a swine field specialist for Iowa State University, along with a new voice for our listeners, Derek Henningsen, who is the gilt flow manager for JBS Live Pork, join us for an in-depth chat on many topics. For this episode, we explore the importance of gilt selection and sow longevity, but more specifically, how factors such as foot health, nutrition, the environment, and diseases impact longevity over time.
