Brett Roosendaal (Nutrition Executive at Epol) shares his insights on quality control methods and indicators of soybean, as well as market prices and inclusion rates, during this Engormix interview....
Brett Roosendaal (Nutrition Executive at Epol) comments on the different types of enzymes and their benefits when using soybean in animal nutrition, during this Engormix interview....
Optimal soybean (SB) processing conditions is essential to ensure that antinutritional factors as trypsin inhibitors are deactivated while maintaining protein solubility and dispersibility. Heat processing is critical for improving amino acid digestibility of extruded SB for broilers. Excessive heat treatment can lead to denaturation of proteins, resulting in a negative impact on animal performance and microbiota composition. In this study, we investigated the effect of three different...
Dr. Ana Maria Villegas, Technical Services Manager for Gut Health Solutions at Evonik, discusses optimal processing conditions for soybean and its effects on gut health, during this Engormix interview....
I. Introduction The development of reduced-CP diets in broiler chickens is gaining more interest as it would drastically lessen the dependence on imported soybean meal which is strategically important for non-soybean producing regions such as Australia and Europe. Modest reductions in CP are already being realised by inclusions of unbound (synthetic or crystalline) methionine, lysine and threonine, which have been routinely included in poultry diets for decades (Kidd et al., 2013)....

I Introduction The development of reduced-crude protein (CP) diets for broiler chickens holds several potential advantages including reduced dependency on imported soybean meal by the Australian chicken-meat industry. Typically, reduced-CP diets contain less soybean meal but more feed grain (and starch) and more synthetic/crystalline amino acids. However, reducing dietary CP from 200 to 150 g/kg in isoenergetic diets has been shown to depress body weight gain, impair food conversion...
In this episode of Let's Squawk About It, Frank Ivey (Feed2Gain, LLC) talks to Andy Vance (PSA Executive Director) about a type of model used to determine matrix values, and how this model helps understand the impacts of feed changes before they are implemented....
Professor Ian Godwin’s invited presentation focused on the use of gene editing and genetic modification techniques to improve the protein content and digestibility of sorghum for use in poultry feed. Sorghum is used to produce a range of human food and beverages and is the main summer grain produced in Australia. Sorghum copes well with the unpredictable Australian climate (heat, droughts, floods). Cereals make up more than 60% of poultry feed and sorghum is an excellent feed...
Soy Connext – the Global U.S. Soy Summit, bringing together 350+ international buyers and sellers of U.S. Soy, is on August 21-23, 2023, at the New York Hilton Midtown in New York City, New York, USA.
The event showcases the best of U.S. Soy, putting a spotlight on solutions delivered through excellent nutrition, quality oil, enhanced profitability, superior sustainability, service, and collaboration. It will be an opportunity to explore insights and trends, and forge new...

Feedstuff production on the farm may be a leading source of the environmental footprint for livestock, poultry, horses and pets, but it doesn’t mean it will be the best solution for reducing it. Regenerative agriculture,...
Introduction: Gastric ulcerations are a special challenge in modern pork production. Stress can be a reason but in particular the existing milieu conditions have an impact on the development of gastric lesions. The dietetic effects of fibre sources in pigs’ gastrointestinal tract are well known. In some cases fibre sources are used as material for the pigs to root and manipulate. The present study was focused on the amount ingested when fibre sources are offered and...
The Institute for Feed Education and Research's Executive Director Lara Moody recently had the opportunity to moderate a panel exploring the path to sustainable feed. As the agrifood sector seeks opportunities to use feed to reduce the environmental footprint of animal production, the discussion focused...

Some of the best advice I received as a young professional was to hone my skills to make the “elevator pitch” – you know, being able to introduce yourself and share a key point or two all in a...
Rainwater itself is generally considered clean, but it can pick up bacteria and other contaminants as it interacts with the environment. For example, if rainwater comes into contact with animal feces or contaminated soil, it can potentially carry Enterobacteriaceae bacteria and other pathogens.
Enterobacteriaceae contamination in feed can threaten animal health. Especially high protein materials, such as soy, corn, blood and bone meals are susceptible to harmful pathogens, such as Salmonella,...
The world is currently experiencing a high cost soybean meal environment, driven by multiple factors including supply-demand disruption due to ongoing transportation congestion, escalating input prices such as fertilizer, as well as supply-demand imbalances due to geopolitical conflicts. Together these factors have pushed soybean meal prices to levels not seen in many years (See Part I). This price pressure has led many feed producers to evaluate the use of non-traditional soybean products...
