Young Dal Jang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Animal and Dairy Science at the University of Georgia (UGA) since 2023. His research focuses on non-ruminant nutrition, particularly swine, investigating feed additives, vitamin/mineral strategies, and gut health optimization for weaning pigs and sows.
- PhD in Animal Sciences from Seoul National University (2012)
- Postdoctoral Scholar at University of Kentucky (2012–2017)
- Assistant Professor at University of Wisconsin-River Falls (2017–2023)
Dr. Jang's research addresses critical challenges in swine production, including postweaning diarrhea prevention, antibiotic reduction, and reproductive efficiency. His work emphasizes vitamin A/D/E, iron and selenium supplementation, probiotic efficacy, and non-starch polysaccharide-degrading enzymes to enhance immunity, gut integrity, and nutrient utilization.
Recent publications highlight trends in medium-chain fatty acids for energy support, vitamin D3 alternatives, and iron injection protocols to mitigate anemia. His studies often bridge nutritional interventions with metabolic and immunological outcomes in piglets and sows.
