Interview with Dr Jeremiah Nemechek of Novus International at World Pork Expo

In this episode of The Real P3 — People, Problems, and Perspectives in Animal Nutrition and Health — Casey Bradley sits down with Jeremiah Nemechek of Novus International at World Pork Expo to revisit an old but increasingly important topic in swine nutrition: trypsin inhibitors in soybean meal.
Trypsin inhibitors are not new science, but recent university research and industry data are causing nutritionists to rethink how much they may be impacting pig performance. Jeremiah shares why soybean meal variation may be greater than many people realize, why testing frequency matters, and how tools like NIR analysis may help the industry move toward faster, more consistent monitoring.
Casey and Jeremiah also discuss how soybean processing, heat treatment, and ingredient variability can influence nutritional value, and why the same diet formulation may not always produce the same pig performance when soybean meal quality changes.
The conversation also explores potential solutions, including protease enzymes and future strategies for matching enzyme technology to the level of anti-nutritional challenge in the diet.
Topics covered include:
- Why trypsin inhibitors are gaining renewed attention in swine nutrition
- Variation in soybean meal across plants and time points
- Challenges with wet chemistry testing and between-lab variation
- How NIR technology may support more frequent ingredient monitoring
- The relationship between trypsin inhibitors, protein digestion, and amino acid availability
- Where protease enzymes may fit in practical feed strategies
- Why this issue matters beyond nursery pigs and may have broader implications across swine production phases
This episode is a great listen for nutritionists, feed manufacturers, swine producers, researchers, and anyone interested in practical precision nutrition.
