Product Overview
Soybean Animal Feed (Soybean Meal) is the premier plant protein ingredient used globally in livestock feed production. Derived from quality whole soybeans through dehulling, flaking, and oil extraction, soybean meal delivers an exceptional amino acid balance—rich in lysine, tryptophan, and threonine—making it indispensable for poultry, swine, and dairy feed diets.
Processing & Refining Steps
Dehulling
Removal of the outer seed coat (hull) to maximize crude protein concentration in the final meal.
Conditioning & Flaking
Thermal softening and mechanical flaking to disrupt oil cells for efficient extraction.
Solvent Extraction
Extraction of soybean oil using food-grade hexane solvent.
Desolventising & Toasting
Precise heat treatment (toasting) to eliminate anti-nutritional factors (trypsin inhibitors) while preserving amino acid bioavailability.

Key Target Applications
- Poultry Broiler & Layer Rations: Primary amino acid driver for meat production and egg mass.
- Swine Diets: Ideal digestible protein source for growing pigs and lactating sows.
- Dairy Cattle Ruminant Supplements: Rumen bypass protein source when toasted.
- Aquaculture Diets: High-inclusion plant protein builder for herbivorous fish.
Packaging, Storage & Handling
Packaging Options
50kg woven bags, bulk big bags (1000kg), or bulk vessel shipments.
Storage Recommendations
Store in dry, clean, well-ventilated flat stores or silos. Keep clear of moisture and ambient humidity to prevent caking.
