The Poultry Podcast Show - Dr. Rony Riveros: AI and Modeling for Poultry Nutrition | Ep. 217

In this episode of The Poultry Podcast Show, Dr. Rony Riveros, a postdoctoral researcher in poultry nutrition at São Paulo State University, discusses how artificial intelligence and mechanistic modeling can support more precise poultry nutrition decisions. He explains why poultry production already generates large amounts of data, how models can help nutritionists evaluate feed strategies faster, and why data quality remains essential for reliable predictions. He also explores sustainability, alternative ingredients, and the ethical need for human supervision when AI tools are used in animal production. Listen now on all major platforms!

What you'll learn:  

• AI in poultry nutrition
• Mechanistic model applications
• Data quality and prediction
• Sustainability-driven feed decisions
