Description
“What’s the guts??”. Deep within the interior of ruminant animals is a fascinating digestion system that enables animals to digest fibrous feeds that we as humans can’t. Focusing on how ruminants work, The Rumen Room Podcasts cover a broad range of topics that bring together the nutrition, health, reproductive performance and well-being of ruminant animals.
Presented in a practical, down to earth manner by New Zealand veterinarian and nutritionist Dr Charlotte Westwood, The Rumen Room Podcasts are a must for anyone with an interest in ruminant animals. Based largely on topics contained in the Facebook group ”The Rumen Room”, these podcasts also include new content not published previously on Facebook.
Proudly supported by PGG Wrightson Seeds New Zealand, the Rumen Room Podcasts are well worth a subscribe so you can be the first to tune in to the latest episodes. Thanks for joining us.
