Flexus Global Soybean Meal is characterized by its flowing, coarse, and granular texture. Produced from meticulously cleaned non-GMO soybeans, it undergoes a series of preparatory physical processes, followed by a multistage oil extraction process. Soybean meal stands as the primary protein source for feeding farm animals. It accounts for a significant portion, representing two-thirds of the total world output of protein feedstuffs, surpassing all other major oil meals and fish meal varieties. The protein fraction derived from Soybeans is utilized in various ways, including as a key livestock feed ingredient in soybean meal, as well as soy protein ingredients for the food industry and industrial applications such as paper coatings and adhesives. Soybean meal, a by-product of soybean oil extraction, is produced through various processes, each resulting in distinct products. This versatility renders soybean meal highly sought-after as animal feed in India. Soybean meal is typically categorized for marketing based on its crude protein content. There are two primary classifications: high-protein soybean meal, containing 47-49% protein and 3% crude fiber, obtained from de-hulled seeds, and conventional soybean meal, with 44-46% protein, which includes the hulls. Soybean meal is renowned for its higher energy value compared to other protein sources.
Soybean meal is used in food and animal feeds, principally as a protein supplement, but also as a source of metabolizable energy. Typically 1 bushel (i.e. 60 lbs. or 27.2 kg) of soybeans yields 48 lbs. (21.8 kg) of soybean meal. Some, but not all, soybean meal is produced from the residue left after oil extraction. (Removal of the oil, which is used mostly in food, but also for industrial oils, soaps and biodiesel, involves crushing and either pressing or solvent extraction.) Some, but not all, soybean meals contain ground soybean hulls. Soybean meal is heat-treated during production, to denature the trypsin inhibitors of soybeans, which would otherwise interfere with protein digestion.

Soybean meal is a protein-rich byproduct of the soybean oil extraction process, widely used as a valuable animal feed ingredient. After soybeans are crushed to extract their oil, the remaining soybean meal is ground into a fine powder, resulting in a nutrient-dense product. It is a vital source of protein, containing essential amino acids, making it a popular choice for livestock and poultry feed to support their growth and overall health. Soybean meal is prized for its versatility and affordability in the animal feed industry and plays a crucial role in meeting the protein needs of livestock, including chickens, pigs, cattle, and aquaculture species.
Soybean meal is made by processing soybeans through a series of steps that includes: Cleaning and dehulling: The soybeans are cleaned and their hulls are removed. Cracking: The soybeans are cracked into smaller pieces. Heating: The soybeans are heated or steamed. Flaking: The soybeans are flaked to break open the oil cells. Extracting: The oil is extracted from the flakes using solvents like hexane. Drying and toasting: The extracted flakes are dried and toasted. Grinding: The flakes are ground into meal
