Brief Project Summary:

The researchers have conducted poultry and swine feeding trials using new soybean meals with value-added traits and found improved metabolizable energy and amino acid digestibility. The funding will be used to evaluate additional experimental soybean varieties with 15-20% more protein, reduced phytate phosphorus and lower levels of trypsin inhibitor in swine and poultry feeding experiments.
