Dr. Cara Cargo-Froom: Pulses in Animal Nutrition | Ep. 10

Welcome to a new episode of the Feed Science Podcast Show, where we have the pleasure of hosting Dr. Cara Cargo-Froom as our esteemed guest. In her prior research endeavors, Dr. Cargo-Froom has conducted extensive investigations about pulses and their potential as feed ingredients in animal diets. Pulses, such as common legumes like broad beans, navy beans, chickpeas, and lentils, are renowned for their nutritional richness. She shares with us the advantages of incorporating pulses into animal nutrition and how doing this can influence the operations of feed mills. Dr. Cargo-Froom also imparts valuable insights on the analysis of ingredient quality, the interdisciplinary nature of feed science and processing, and her research on equine nutrition and feed processing.

"We know a lot of uses of pulses for humans, but there's still a lot to know about its usage in ag diets and even companion animal diets." - Dr. Cara Cargo-Froom
