Extruded soybean meal lets you cut protein
Poorly processed soybean meal was extruded and fed to broilers. Extrusion raised the digestibility of protein and several amino acids and improved weight gain and feed conversion. With extruded meal, dietary protein could be lowered by about 9% without hurting performance.
Practical takeawayExtrusion improves soybean meal quality and can reduce the protein needed in broiler diets.
