This guide aims to facilitate productive conversations between veterinarians and swine producers on the fundamental aspects of swine nutrition. It covers essential topics such as nutrient requirements, feed formulation, and the impact of nutrition on animal health and productivity.

As veterinarians and producers, your role in ensuring pigs receive the right balance of nutrients through each stage of production is not just important, it's essential. This guide is a tool to further enhance your understanding of basic swine nutrition, and it is strongly suggested that you consult additional resources before making any changes to an existing ration or begin formulating a new ration. Your dedication to meeting the basic nutritional needs of the pigs is key to optimizing production efficiency and supporting animal health and welfare.
