Dr. Madison (Madie) R. Wensley is one of the most productive graduate students that has studied with the Kansas State University Applied Swine Nutrition Team. Her M.S. and Ph.D. research efforts resulted in 16 first-author referred journal papers and 11 peer-reviewed scientific abstracts. Her M.S. research focused on phytase where she developed an available phosphorus release curve for a novel phytase source and assessed phytase release values for calcium, phosphorus, amino acids, and energy in finishing pig diets. Madie’s Ph.D. research was centered on identifying ways to improve post-weaning piglet livability and performance as part of the 2018 NPB-funded pig survivability project and culminated in two literature reviews and 10 trials utilizing over 17,000 pigs. In graduate school she has been recognized with 9 scholarships and awards including the 2022 ASAS Young Scholar award. Madie is a true leader and her passion for helping others understand will be impactful both in and out of the swine industry for years to come.
