About
Carine M. Vier is a leading researcher in swine nutrition, with a primary focus on phosphorus metabolism and precision feeding strategies for nursery and growing pigs. Her work has been instrumental in refining the standardized total tract digestible (STTD) phosphorus requirements for modern, high-lean genotypes, directly informing commercial diet formulations to improve bone development and growth efficiency while reducing environmental phosphorus excretion. In her landmark 2017 study, Vier conducted a large-scale dose-response trial using 1,080 pigs to establish the precise STTD phosphorus needs for 25- to 50-lb nursery pigs—a foundational reference for the industry. Her research integrates rigorous statistical modeling with practical production parameters, bridging the gap between academic nutrient requirement models and real-world swine operations. With over 4 citations on this key paper alone, Vier’s contributions are widely recognized for their direct impact on feed cost optimization and sustainability. Her work exemplifies how targeted, applied research can solve critical challenges in animal agriculture, making her a trusted authority in swine mineral nutrition.
