Examining the use of chromium in swine production

Join us for a three-part webinar series where we will take a comprehensive look into swine nutrition with some of the industry’s sharpest professionals. Together, we will review recent research on the common stressors in commercial swine production and their potential impact on health, productivity and welfare. Following will be an analysis of chromium supplementation and it’s impact on sow productivity and insulin function.
