Dr. Julian Arroyave is a researcher and swine nutritionist at Carthage Veterinary Services. He was born in Medellin, Colombia, where he received his B.S. in animal science at the National University of Colombia. During his bachelor's degree, he conducted research in ruminant nutrition and greenhouse gas emissions. This made him pursue a master's degree in Agricultural Science focused on animal nutrition at the Autonomous University of Yucatan, Mexico. After his M.S. degree, Julian spent five years working as a swine nutritionist in one of the largest swine companies in Mexico. Motivated to continue expanding his knowledge in swine nutrition, in 2023 he decided to pursue a Ph.D. program with the swine nutrition team at Kansas State University.
