It provides details on the types and processing of soybean meal, its nutritional composition, and use in feeding various animals including ruminants, poultry, pigs, fish, dogs, horses and others. It notes soybean meal is high in protein and amino acids but also contains some anti-nutritional factors. The document concludes with discussing the advantages and disadvantages of soybean meal for animal feeding.

3. What is Soybean Meal?
 Soybean meal(Soybean flour)
flour made by grinding the solid
residue of soybean oil production
 Scientifically called Glycine max
 Soybean Meal + Water=Soybean Milk
 Widely used as
 filler
 suppliment
 source of protein in animal diets, including pig,
chicken,cattle, horse,sheep, and fish feed

4. Characteristics
 High nutritional value of plant protein source
 Excellent source of protein
 Amino acid profile is favorable
 Palatable & Digestible
 High energy & Nitrogen Fixer while Low fiber
content
 Ca+(0.2%), P(0.37),Fe,Zn,Mn, carotene, Vit.D & B
complex
 High number of anti-nutritional factors
 Soybean best combined with cereal grains for AA
 Soybean meal,low protien(non-dehulled)
 Soybean meal, high protein (dehulled)
 Soybean meal, high oil (expeller)

5. Types of Soybean Meal
 Different methods are used for oil
extraction from the whole soybeans
 Solvent extraction
 Expeller process
 On the basis of these process 2 types are
used
 Soybean meal 44
 Soybean meal 48
 This is given on the basis of CP contents which are 44% &
48% respectively
 Heat treatment improves the nutritional value of soybean
meal

8. Anti-Nutritional Factors
 Protease inhibitors
 Lectin
 Phytoestrogens
 Saponins
 Goitrogenic factors
 Rachitogenic factors
 Phytic acid
 Mycotoxins
 Allergens
 Lipoxidase

9. Soybean Meal in Feeding of
Different Animals
Ruminants:
 Important part of diet of ruminants due
to:
o More (60%) rumen-degradable protein
o Good AA profile
o High cell wall digestibility
o Palatable
 35% in dairy cows & beef
 30% in ewes
 20% in calves & lambs

10. Continue
In Dairy Cows:
Protein
Energy
Crude fiber
Ammonia
+ve effect on feed intake,milk yield &
milk protein contents
If its price is high its alternatives are
used. It is totally depends upon price.
In younge Calves:
oProvides methionine
oProvides lysine Limiting AA
oProvides tryptophan
oIt is provided to calves younger than 3
months

11. Continue
In Sheep:
 Protein
 Energy
 Crude fiber
 Ammonia
 +ve effect on feed intake,milk yeild &
milk protein contents
 Low quality hay can be replaced by
soybean meal to give same peformance

12. Continue
In Goats:
 1.6% urea is added to soybean meal
based diet to reduce the soybean meal
resulting in lower feed cost
 Soybean meal can be replaced by poultry
meal & meat offals without altering the
animal performance
 Fat in soybean meal provides
sustained energy
 Fatty acid support health skin
& nervous system while Mg support
skeletal system

13. Continue
In Poultry:
o Major protein source for poultry due to quality & amount of
protein and AA profile
o Maize & soybean based diet provides all essential AA but
methionine...Avoid unprocessed beans
o Inclusion level
 Chicks 25%
 Broiler,breeder & laying hens 30-40%
o Phytase added to corn-soybean layer
diets to increase the egg production,
egg weight & feed consumption
o Whole soybeans will soften the body
So avoid it & give 20-25% per diet

14. Continue
In Rabbits:
o Toasted soybean is given at 15-20% per diet
o Raw soybeans have 15% less protein than meal
o Provide protein
o Provide energy
o Provide fibers
o Sunflower meal can replace soybean in pregnant &
lactating does

15. Continue
In Fish:
o Toasted soybean meal
o Most commonly used in aquaculture
o High energy & protein is good feed for fish
o Alternative to fish meal
o High digestibility
o More utilization (90-93%) of CP provided
o Corn-soybean based diets fed to cat-fish
o Found to be limiting in methionine
o Highly palatable to warm water fish
o Full fat soybeans are
fed to cold water fish
it has 18% fat vs 0.5%
in soyBean Meal

16. Continue
In Pig:
 Sick pig may get benefit from soybean meal in feed
 Add soybean meal to pig’s normal diet
 It will offer advantages
 Young pigs => In case of Procine Reproductive &
Respiratory Syndrome Virus <= received different amount
of soybean meal in their feed
 Monitor the growth & health as they recover
 Pigs with high soybean meal diet have better feed
efficiency & less fever than pigs with low soybean meal
diet
 So soybean meal is beneficial for the pigs
even when they are sick

17. Continue
In Dog:
 Excellent amino acid profile
 High protein
 Fiber
 Mg makes skeletal system strong
 Fatty acids help to support healthy skin,coat & Nervous
system
 Soy protein cause digestive issues in some dogs
 Fairly allergens
 Some dogs may thrive on this type of diet

18. Continue
In Horse:
o Horse needs only small amount of protein in diet which is
often met from good quality grass hay
o Where good quality grass hay is not present, mare horse
needs about 1 pound digestible protein daily
o Soybean meal has 42-50% protein
o Soybean meal is preferred to horses where good quality
grass hay is not present

19. Questions related to soybean meal
in horse feeding:
Q: Does anyone feed soybean meal to his
young horses?
A: yes! Protein will give them a boost.
About a pound per day for growing
horses. But use it as a suppliment not as
whole feed.

20. What is the best way to feed
soybeans to horses?
Q: you have soybeans direct from the farmer; can
you grind your own meal and feed it? If so, how
do you determine the quantity?
A: Raw soybean has trypsin inhibitor that
lowers the protein value. So heat them 1st
to inactivate it. You can also soak them
overnight before cooking them.
Feed ½ cup of whole beans or meal
twice a day for an average sized horse
(1000 lbs) to put “BLOOM” on your horse

21. Is a grain mix with corn, oats and
soybeans okay for young horses?
Q: Would this formula be appropriate for foals:
Oats 700 lbs, corn 300 lbs, roasted soy 100 lbs
plus supplement? & How to cost down?
A: Roasted soybeans adds more protein & a bit fat to ration
but if you want to cost it down, you must add lucerne to
replace soybean. The above mixture lack lucerne so add it.
Mix 250lbs OAT, 250 lbs CORN, 17% lucerne pallets
or meal with 1-2% molasses which provide 16%
protein with 0.8% Ca & 0.3% P which is best for
growing & breeding horses.
Feed it at the rate of 0.5-1.0% body weight & divide it
into 2-3 meals per day with free amount of grass hay.

22. Top 9 reasons to keep horses away
from soybean
1. Urease & lipoxidase (so heat to inactivate them)
2. Allergens (cause infection to animals)
3. Anti-nutrients in soy (cause gastric distress)
4. Goitrogens (depress thyroid functions)
5. Genetically modified 99%soy(Pesticide contamination)
6. Phytic acid (blocks the uptake of essential minerals)
7. Natural chemical mimics estrogen (alter sexual
development)
8. Sometimes it is insulin resistant & foal health
problems
9. Solvent used during extraction can cause some toxic
effects to the animals

23. Advantages & Dis-advantages
Advantages Disadvantages
Economical source of protein Contain antinutritional factors i.e
Promptly available & Reproducible trypsin inhibitors & oligosaccharides
Poised AA profile complements that of Low methionine;possible more
other components i.e corn taurine requirements in cat
Taurine vegetable holds appearance Low digestibility
of meat during canning Turgidity
Improved product texture Poor feacal quality
Source of protien for vegetatrian Source of more soluble fiber
diets
Source of dietry fiber Reduces trace mineral availability
Allergic reaction to protien
Nagative intension for pet owners
