Today on the show, we are joined by Willem Steyn and Philip van den Brink. They both bring vast experience in working with pigs and with Zinc Oxide, and share those experiences in both South Africa and the Netherlands. They share how it can be reduced in feed, what alternatives are, and some of the science behind its usage.
