Understanding FEED ADDITIVE Performance – NUTRINSIGHTS Dr. Luis Fernando Romero Millan
In this episode of nutrInsights, brought to you by nutriNews International, editorial team member Alvaro Guzman speaks with Dr. Luis Fernando Romero Millan, an experienced animal scientist and international expert in poultry nutrition and feed technology.
With a global career spanning Colombia, Canada, the UK, and Switzerland, Dr. Romero Millan offers unique insight into the real-world factors that shape feed additive performance—including microbial pressure, heat stress, and nutrient interactions. He explains how ‘omics tools like transcriptomics and metabolomics can help researchers and companies understand feed additive effects beyond traditional trial results.
📊 Learn how trial design, context-driven application, and clear communication with producers are key to unlocking additive value and improving livestock outcomes. Dr. Romero Millan also explores how precision farming technologies and real-time animal monitoring will transform the future of feed strategies.
🎯 A must-watch for animal nutritionists, feed manufacturers, technical advisors, and anyone bridging science with field application.
📌 Highlights include:
Challenges in moving from lab to field
Primary vs. secondary mechanisms of action
Using molecular tools in product development
Communicating variability to producers
Future trends: precision feeding, data platforms, and AI.
