Soybean Meal Quality

A team of Spanish researchers conducted an extensive survey of the quality of soybean meal that was being imported by Spanish feed formulators. The team obtained analytical data on 262 soybean meal samples and reported the results at the annual Poultry Science meetings. The survey data is shown in the following table.



(*) The value is significantly different. (P < 0.001)

The researchers concluded that based on nutrient composition and protein quality measurements that the U.S. processed soybean meal is of comparative excellent quality for use in feed formulations.
