Tridge summary

The article highlights the recent findings of the U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC) on the nutritional differences between U.S. and globally sourced soybeans for animal feed. The research indicates a significant gap in nutritional quality and consistency, with U.S. soybeans showing less damage and higher digestibility of essential amino acids. This not only leads to improved animal performance but also reduces feed costs and lowers the carbon footprint of the feed by 20% if 100% U.S. soybean meal is used. These factors contribute to increased profitability and sustainable practices in the livestock industry, underlining the importance of high-quality animal feed and the benefits of using U.S. soybean meal.

This article was originally published by Tom D'Alfonso, Director of Global Livestock and Aquaculture Technology at the U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC) at Expana | AgriFood Summit Media interviews during 2024. As global demand for high-quality animal feed grows, it is critical to select the most reliable and nutritious soybeans for soybean meal production. The U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC) recently completed a series of research projects to compare the nutritional content of U.S. and other origin soybeans and soybean meal in livestock feed. The research aims to better understand the differences in the nutritional content and overall quality of soybean meal from different origins around the world, and specifically how these differences affect livestock nutrient supply and feed efficiency. Research Methods and Overall Results The team reviewed third-party research from several peer-reviewed surveys[1] to understand the differences between U.S. soybean meal and soybean meal ...
