Soybean meal is palatable, nutrient dense, high in digestibility, and a relatively consistent source of protein. It has an excellent amino acid profile and is a concentrated source of protein and energy.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Protein supplements like soybean meal can be fed to balance out low protein pasture and/or supplements.
Cows in mid-lactation require about 16 percent dietary crude protein. In summer pasture protein levels can drop under 16 percent. In these situations deficiencies can become an issue and soybean meal can
be used to stimulate production levels.
Soybean meal contains around 50 percent protein of which 35 percent is rumen undegradable (“bypass”) and 65 percent is rumen degradable.
Soybean meal is rich in lysine, and of the common plant proteins used in animal feeds, soybean meal has the highest percentage of essential amino acids (47.6 percent).
FEEDING RECOMMENDATION
There is no maximum for the use of soybean meal in dairy rations, and it can be fed to meet protein requirements. Normal feeding rates will be around 0.5-2kg per head per day. Soybean meal can be fed
mixed with silage in the paddock or on the feed pad. It can also be fed via the grain feeding system in the dairy shed.
Consult your nutritionist or farm consultant to work out the most optimal inclusion level for your particular situation.
