Agbee Kpogo: Gastric Ulcers in Pigs | Ep. 15
Description
Weโve seen several studies on gastric ulcers being influenced by either feed outages or by particle size, but we still donโt know the exact physiological mechanism that causes the onset of these gastric ulcers. In this episode, I talk with Agbee Kpogo about his work continuing the research on gastric ulcers to further understand the mechanisms behind this animal welfare concern.
Agbee Kpogo originally grew up in Ghana, where he obtained his B.S. in Animal Sciences. After receiving his B.S., he moved to Canada to attend the University of Saskatchewan to obtain his M.S. in swine nutrition in 2019. He is still at the University of Saskatchewan currently working toward his Ph.D. in swine nutrition and physiology with his research focusing on pea starch and gastric ulcers.
