Research funded by the Checkoff demonstrates that enhanced nutrient content can improve animal health, feed efficiency and the valuation of soybean meals. soybean meal’s benefits to overall animal health and encourage a shift toward total value-based ingredient decisions on the production and processing side of the supply chain,” said Mamduh Sifri, Ph.D., Sifri Solutions LLC, retired director of poultry nutrition at ADM and a member of the ANWG. “Our hope is to improve awareness and understanding of U.S. This team of nutritionists examines how soybean meals are properly used beyond just protein content. Soybean meal continues to be the standard for all other protein feedstuffs. This is a global problem that USB is actively working on to correct and highlight for other partners in the value chain.” Over time, this has led to seed varieties that are high yielding but slowly declined in crude protein concentration. “On the other hand, farmers can make more income by maximizing yield. “Animal nutritionists formulate feed based on digestible amino acids and net energy content as well as best cost,” said R. Dean Boyd, Ph.D., adjunct professor of nutrition at Iowa State and North Carolina State universities and a member of the ANWG. These are overall nutrient composition improved measurement of anti-nutritional factors and the resulting benefits to animal production, performance and health. USB’s new strategic plan consists of three priorities for soybean meal. The Checkoff convenes industry leaders as part of its Animal Nutrition Working Group (ANWG) to advise research investments with the highest value for farmers and the industry.
This impact spans the poultry, pig, dairy and aquaculture sectors.
soybeans, ultimately benefiting animal agriculture and American farmers. Collaboration between animal nutritionists and the Soy Checkoff could bring additional value opportunities for U.S.
