She discusses soluble and insoluble fiber, effects on gut health, microbiota, and nutrient utilization, and challenges in fiber measurement. The conversation highlights opportunities to use fiber strategically in feed formulation. Listen now on all major platforms!
"Soluble fiber ferments and fuels beneficial bacteria, producing short-chain fatty acids that support gut health and reduce pathogen colonization."
