Research summary

B. T. Richert's research focuses on swine (pig) nutrition and management, particularly around the stressful periods of weaning and transport. Work in this record examines dietary strategies such as antibiotic alternatives (e.g., glutamine, synbiotics), mineral and protein supplementation, and responses to heat stress, evaluating effects on pig growth, gut health, behavior, and welfare. Studies typically involve controlled feeding trials measuring growth performance, blood parameters, intestinal function, and body composition in nursery and grow-finish pigs.
