Soybean Meal

Glycine max (L.) Merr. 

U.S. soybean meal is an outstanding source of supplemental protein in diets for livestock and poultry. It is a “Total Value Package” that is composed of the most valuable nutrients needed in animal diets such as, superior amino acid profile and amino acid digestibility; increased metabolizable energy; lower fiber content; higher total phosphorus and greater uniformity among batches.

Solvent Extracted Soybean Meal is produced by cracking, heating and flaking de-hulled soybeans and reducing the oil content of the conditioned flakes by the use of specialized solvents. The extracted flakes are then cooked and ground into soybean meal.
