The Swine it Podcast Show#SHORTS: A great piece of advice when conducting swine research, with Dr. Katherine Vande PolDr. Vande Pol grew up in central California and received her PhD in animal sciences focusing mainly on pre-weaning piglet mortality. She suggests researching and questioning answers that were previously found because what was true in a genetic line or during a certain time period may no longer be true today. It is necessary to objectively question all stages of pig production. Do you agree?
