In this episode of The Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Emmanuel Nuamah, Research Assistant at Jeonbuk National University in South Korea, explains how meta-analysis combines data from multiple studies to deliver more reliable, evidence-based nutritional strategies for broilers and layers. He walks through the full meta-analysis process, from the PICO framework to bias screening, and discusses how machine learning is making the method even more dynamic and powerful. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Meta-analysis aggregates individual studies to reveal nutritional strategies that hold across real-world variability in commercial production."

Meet the guest: Emmanuel Nuamah is a Research Assistant at Jeonbuk National University in South Korea, specializing in broiler and swine nutrition, digestive physiology, and meta-analysis. His work focuses on building evidence-based nutritional strategies from pooled study data. He holds a B.Sc. in Agriculture and an M.Phil. in Animal Science from the University of Cape Coast, Ghana.

In this special episode of The Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, marking Earth Day, we welcome Dr. Rony Riveros, a postdoctoral researcher specializing in energy metabolism, mineral metabolism, and nutritional modeling in broilers and laying hens, who explores how precision nutrition and mathematical modeling can drive more sustainable poultry production. He explains how dynamic nutritional models replace static table values to better reflect real flock conditions, and discusses how smarter raw material utilization, including alternative ingredients like insect meal, can reduce environmental excretion and improve efficiency. Listen now on all major platforms!

“Dynamic nutritional values, shaped by genetics, flock conditions, environment, and health status, bring feed formulation closer to reality, where static tables simply cannot reach.”

Meet the guest: Dr. Rony Riveros is a Peruvian postdoctoral researcher based in Brazil, holding a PhD in Animal Science from São Paulo State University (UNESP), Brazil. With expertise in energy metabolism, mineral metabolism, and nutritional modeling for broilers and laying hens, his work bridges academic modeling tools with practical applications for nutritionists and producers worldwide.
