Brief Project Summary:

Schillinger Genetics has developed new soybean varieties with high levels of protein (45%) and low levels of oligosaccharides (1%). This project will evaluate new more stable genetic factors that will lower and stabilize trypsin inhibitor (TI) content. TI is an anti-nutritional factor that requires heat in processing soybeans to produce soybean meal to maximum protein digestibility of feeds. The researchers anticipate evaluating soybean lines containing these traits for yield in 2014.

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.
