Our monogastric nutrition teams provide in-depth training that integrates fundamental nutrition principles with practical research initiatives. Specialized programs cover swine, equine, and poultry nutrition, with K-State's swine nutrition program standing out as a national pioneer in applied field studies within contemporary commercial swine operations. This approach gives graduate students hands-on industry experience while performing cutting-edge research. Key research topics encompass amino acid and energy nutrition, alternative feed ingredient applications, how technological innovations affect dietary needs, and feed processing methods' impact on nutrient absorption.
K-State's Equine Nutrition program boasts one of just two university-maintained herds of cecally cannulated horses, enabling graduate research on nutrient digestion, the microbiome of the equine hindgut, and cecal conditions.
The poultry nutrition program addresses both broiler and layer hen dietary needs, along with gamebird nutrition. Research focuses on feed processing techniques and poultry nutrient requirements.
