Full Fat Soya Meal

Potential benefits of soybeans in livestock diets:

• Soybeans are especially valuable when they can replace soybean meal and fat in feeding situations that require high energy levels.
• When adequate dietary energy levels can be reached without fat, soybeans have to compete with grain energy and will be worth less than when they compete with fat sources.
• If the animals being fed are already performing at their genetic potential, extra energy from soybeans will not give a growth response but should improve feed efficiency.
• Properly roasted soybeans can be used as a source of UIP (bypass protein) for ruminants. This lowers the need for less palatable protein sources such as meat meal and blood meal. Using beans as a concentrated energy source and as a replacement for high-cost animal source proteins will maximize their dollar value in a diet.
• The oil in soybeans helps to reduce dust levels in ground rations.
