Managing nutrients more efficiently isn't just good for the environment—it can also create practical benefits for producers.

In this episode of Research in Action, host Cole Christensen and SIP Research Manager Alison Lee sit down with Dr. Marie-Pierre Létourneau Montminy of Université Laval to discuss innovative research aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions through improved phosphorus and nitrogen management in pig production.

The conversation explores how feeding strategies influence manure composition, why nutrient balance is critical for both production and environmental performance, and how researchers are investigating new opportunities for renewable energy through manure-based biogas. Dr. Létourneau Montminy also discusses predictive modelling, collaboration between research institutions across Canada, and how these findings could help producers improve nutrient management while maintaining animal performance.

This episode highlights how research is helping producers meet sustainability goals while developing practical solutions that benefit farms today and into the future.
