The Swine it Podcast Show Canada - Dr. Crystal Levesque: Communicating Science Effectively | Ep. 116
Jun 05, 2025I’m Dr. Aline Remus, and I’m excited to host my very first episode of The Swine it Podcast Show Canada! I couldn’t be more thrilled to kick things off with a conversation that tackles two major topics in our industry: how we’re feeding today’s hyper-prolific sow and why training scientists to speak the language of producers matters more than ever. Our guest, Dr. Crystal Levesque from South Dakota State University, shares her insights on sow longevity, amino acid metabolism during pregnancy, and science communication training for swine researchers. Listen now on all major platforms!
What will you learn:
- Sow nutritional gaps
- Maternal health impact
- Stillborn pattern trends
- Science communication training
