Description
What it is. This is a feed material obtained as a by-product of soybean oil extraction, produced from dehulled (dehusked) soybean seeds. The official catalogue entry (Regulation 68/2013, point 2.18.14, oilseeds and oleaginous fruits chapter) does not provide a detailed official description; the product corresponds to the solvent-extracted meal of dehulled soybeans.
What it is for. Soybean extraction meal from dehulled seeds is generally used as a protein source in compound feed for most livestock species, including poultry, pigs, ruminants and aquaculture. Its lower fibre content compared with non-dehulled meal generally supports its use in diets where energy and protein density need to be optimised. It would generally be included at the formulation stage according to the protein and amino acid targets of each diet and production stage.
Points to watch. No officially available description was provided for this entry; compositional data and maximum inclusion levels should be checked against the supplier's specification and current legislation before use. As an extraction by-product, protein, fat and fibre content can vary with the dehulling process and the originating oil extraction plant. Store in dry conditions away from moisture to limit the risk of mould development and quality loss.
