@Nelson Ruíz, thank you for your insightful comments. I agree with your perspective that KOH protein solubility serves as an effective indicator for assessing the degree of overheating in soybean meal. Our observations have shown a strong correlation between KOH solubility and the reactive lysine to total lysine ratio.

Thanks Dr. Penz, For the non-nutritionists who wish to know more about what data is needed in order to have a new factor (or non-nutritive) element calculated or evaluated in the Least Cost Formulation, you may find what you need in a recent book published by Dr. Todd Applegate of the University of Georgia. The book is entitled Advances in Poultry Nutrition. I was pleased to contribute the chapter ...

Thanks for the detailed information regarding the many factors that humans should be concerned about in the production of animal products.

My contribution to that effort was the development of software to minimize the cost of the Feeds. The use of Linear programming in the Feed For ...
