Properties and composition of soybean meal
Soybean meal contains 44-48% protein, depending on the variety. It is rich in amino acids, including lysine and methionine. Due to its residual fat, it has a high, well-absorbed energy value. For cattle, it is a natural source of phytosterols and isoflavones, which can benefit metabolism.
Benefits of use in cattle feeding
✔ Increased milk yield – provides essential amino acids that affect milk production
✔ Better weight gain – well-absorbed protein promotes muscle building and accelerates growth in beef cattle
✔ Improved feed digestibility – thanks to low fiber and high nutrient bioavailability
✔ Animal health support – beneficial effects on intestinal microflora and metabolism
Use of soybean meal
- As a component of complete feeds and compound feeds
- For use in diets of high-yielding dairy cows
- In the feeding of beef cattle (as a source of protein and energy)
