Soybean Animal Feed (Soybean Meal)

Dehulled high-protein soybean meal for swine, poultry, and livestock feeds.

Dehulled soybean meal feed ingredient

Product Overview

Soybean Animal Feed (Soybean Meal) is the premier plant protein ingredient used globally in livestock feed production. Derived from quality whole soybeans through dehulling, flaking, and oil extraction, soybean meal delivers an exceptional amino acid balance—rich in lysine, tryptophan, and threonine—making it indispensable for poultry, swine, and dairy feed diets.

Processing & Refining Steps

Dehulling

Removal of the outer seed coat (hull) to maximize crude protein concentration in the final meal.

Conditioning & Flaking

Thermal softening and mechanical flaking to disrupt oil cells for efficient extraction.

Solvent Extraction

Extraction of soybean oil using food-grade hexane solvent.

Desolventising & Toasting

Precise heat treatment (toasting) to eliminate anti-nutritional factors (trypsin inhibitors) while preserving amino acid bioavailability.
