Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Paula Giacomini's research focuses on swine nutrition and management, investigating the impact of various dietary components and management systems on animal health and performance. Her recent work includes studies on the effects of different soybean meal inclusion levels and the inclusion of distillers dried grains with solubles on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and inflammatory and oxidative markers in grower and finisher pigs. Additionally, she has examined the influence of preweaning socialization systems on piglet livability and lifetime growth, as well as subsequent sow performance. Another area of her research involves determining the dose-response effects of modified corn protein products in nursery pig diets and evaluating the impact of startup soybean meal on nursery pig growth performance and nutrient digestibility.
