Brief Project Summary:

Schillinger Genetics has developed new soybean varieties with higher levels of protein (45%), lower levels of oligosaccharides (1%) and low levels of trypsin inhibitor (TI) content with altered levels of fatty acids. These varieties have been evaluated and shown to have high yield and excellent agronomics. This project will involve evaluating the feeding value of meal produced from these soybean varieties in aquaculture and poultry operations. This project will also involve crossing of soybean varieties with superior nutritional traits into elite soybean lines with high oleic acid levels.

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.
