Brief Project Summary:

This project seeks to determine the value of the overall nutrient content and quality for the North Carolina soybean meal in feed formulations for poultry, swine and aquaculture, compared to soybean meal from the East Corn Belt, U.S. Gulf, Brazil and Argentina. This study includes other nutrients, not only digestible amino acids. It also evaluates different scenarios where price variability of competitive protein feedstuffs may affect shadow prices. Additionally, this project aims to contribute with new information related to amino acid, trypsin inhibitor and oligosaccharide content by origin and its variability within the USA, protein quality based on higher concentrations of essential amino acids, and other SBM quality parameters.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents, livestock producers, feed nutritionists, feedmillers

Final Project Results

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.
