Candido Pomar, a researcher for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Sherbrooke, Quebec, together with his brother, Jesus Pomar at the University of Lleida, Spain (and several teams of researchers from other universities and five countries) are behind what promises to be the next opportunity in swine feeding; one that has the potential to transform how we feed pigs within the next five years. This team of researchers is striving to develop technology for feeding pigs individually, on a daily basis, rather than using a phase feeding program targeting the average pig in a pen.
