Previous research has shown that extruded soybean meal can be comparable to canola meal in terms of milk production and components. This research proposes that a diet that is slightly below the metabolizable protein requirements of the cows would benefit from the increased supply of escape protein from extruded soybean meal, when compared with canola meal. The project conducts a feeding trial to test this hypothesis, monitoring feed intake, milk production and composition (including milk fatty acids), body weight and plasma amino acid profiles. Key Benefactors: farmers, agronomists, extension agents, livestock farmers, dairy industry, livestock nutritionists
Data for feed intake, milk production and composition (including milk fatty acids), body weight change, and plasma amino acid profiles of cows fed extruded soybean meal vs. canola meal.
The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
