In the premiere episode of Coffee in the Barn, Dr. Casey Bradley answers a deceptively simple question: What is animal nutrition?
But this conversation goes far beyond feed and formulas. In this opening installment of our new series “I’m Not Just an Animal Nutritionist,” Casey shares how she entered the field, what animal nutrition truly encompasses, and why it plays a foundational role in animal health, sustainability, and food systems around the world.
Alongside Alex—our AI co-learner and curious mentee—Dr. Bradley walks us through:
- The difference between human and animal nutrition
- Why 70% of production costs hinge on nutrition
- What can go wrong with deficiencies or toxicities
- The core nutrients animals need (and how they get them)
- The diverse career paths in animal nutrition
- And what most people don’t realize about this vital science
Whether you’re a student, producer, pet brand, or fellow nutritionist—this episode will challenge the way you think about animal feed and open your eyes to the science, strategy, and heart behind it all.
