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 of soybeans yields 48 lbs. of soybean meal. As a concentrated source of protein, energy, and essential amino acids in one palatable package, soybean meal offers unsurpassed feeding value for various species. In fact, it has become the gold standard by which other protein sources are measured and priced.
