Soybean Meal, Barley Animal Feeds

详情

Soybean meal is the most important protein source used to feed farm animals. It represents two-thirds of the total world output of protein feedstuffs, including all other major oil meals and fish meal (Oil World, ***5). Its feeding value is unsurpassed by any other plant protein source and it is the standard to which other protein sources are compared (Cromwell, ***9). While it has been an accepted part of livestock and poultry diets in the USA since the mid****0s (Lewis et al., ***1), soybean feed production took off in the mid****0s and then accelerated in the early ***0s due to a growing demand from developing countries. The expansion of aquaculture and prohibitions on the feed use of slaughterhouse by-products have also fueled the demand for this high-quality source of protein (Steinfeld et al., ***6).
