Smarter Farming, Stronger Livelihoods

In Felix Park, Saint Andrew, a local poultry business is demonstrating how digital innovation can strengthen food security, boost productivity and reduce environmental impact – all while supporting climate-resilient agriculture in Grenada.

Grenada Chick Inn Farm Limited, one of the country’s leading poultry producers, is now leveraging digital technology to modernise processes that were once heavily dependent on manual labour. Through grant support under the Blue-Green Digital Innovation Challenge, part of the Climate-Resilient Agriculture (CRA) Programme, the farm has integrated climate-smart digital systems into its operations.

The upgrade allows the farm to optimise feed, water and energy use during the rearing of chicks. Climate control sensors and a centralised computer system now regulate temperature, humidity, airflow, feed distribution and water pressure in real time – creating an ideal environment for the birds to thrive.

Video: Methionine Requirements for Lactating Sows - Cierra Kozole


In this episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Cierra Kozole, PhD candidate in Swine Nutrition at the University of Guelph, explains how methionine supports lactating sows beyond milk protein synthesis. She discusses updated requirement estimates, source comparisons, methylation demand, and why modern sow genetics may require more precise amino acid strategies. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Methionine supports protein synthesis while also serving critical functions through methylation pathways that influence multiple biological processes."

Meet the guest: Cierra Kozole / cierra-kozole-772b64253 is a PhD candidate in Swine Nutrition at the University of Guelph in Canada. Her doctoral research focuses on refining estimates of methionine requirements for primiparous lactating sows, including evaluating methionine sources, nutrient partitioning, methylation reactions, and the links among amino acid supply, milk production, and sow protein retention.
