In this episode of The Feed Science Podcast Show, Dr. Richard Kohn from the University of Maryland explains how mathematical modeling shapes diet formulation, nutrient management, and environmental sustainability in livestock systems. He discusses how artificial intelligence could influence feed formulation, the risks of data bias, and the need for critical thinking in animal nutrition. Explore how modeling connects efficiency, profitability, and environmental care. Listen now on all major platforms! “Feeding remains a micro-level science with macro-level consequences, influencing global trade, environment, and food system resilience.” Meet the guest: Dr. Richard Kohn https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-kohn-17a612106/ is a Professor of Animal Science at the University of Maryland, specializing in mathematical modeling of metabolism, diet formulation, and the environmental impact of animal production systems.
