 The recent rise in soybean meal prices has made soybean meal a hot topic. Many people do not understand soybean meal and do not know his role. The following editor will take you to understand soybean meal. Many people will doubt that the price of soybean meal is almost higher than that of soybeans. Why not use soybeans directly? You may not understand that soybean is an excellent source of vegetable protein. Soybean meal after crushing or extraction contains 44 Crude protein of about%, a variety of minerals and vitamins, and more balanced amino acid content and higher nutritional value, so it has become the most commonly used protein feed in livestock and poultry diets. Soybean heat treatment time (0 ~ 18min), crude protein and amino acid ileum apparent and true digestibility were significantly improved (linear effect, P <0.01). The crude protein and amino acid digestibility of raw soybean is significantly lower than that of ordinary soybean meal and peeled soybean meal (P <0.01), but the difference between ordinary soybean meal and peeled soybean meal is not significant (P> 0.05). We see that the reason why people do not use soybeans as feed ingredients is because of the low digestibility of soybeans. In addition, soybeans are actually more expensive than soybean meal.

 

 

  

  Soybean meal can be used not only as feed but also as edible. Soybean meal is made into low-fat soy milk powder, and patients with high blood pressure and high blood fat will not raise blood fat and blood pressure. In addition, it can effectively prevent atherosclerosis caused by the lack of low-fat protein and prevent obesity. Soybean meal can also be made into low-fat tofu. We see that the actual value of soybean meal does not have to be as low as soybeans. Soybean meal is not only a good feed but also a good food processing raw material. Although soybean meal is good, its actual price is cheaper than soybeans. The difference between soybean meal and soybean prices is about 500-1000 yuan per meal. That is to say, soybean meal is 500 to 1,000 yuan cheaper than soybean per ton, which is a normal price. So why is the recent rise in soybean meal more expensive than soybeans?

 

 

Recent netizens reported that the soybean meal price reached a high of 4700, which is already higher than the futures dump price, and it is likely that the price is artificially manipulated. Then some netizens who made purchases in big feed factories reported that the purchase price of big factories was only 2800 yuan per ton of soybean meal. Regardless of whether the information is accurate or not, it is unreasonable that the price of soybean meal is higher than the price of soybean. We do not have to worry too much about the impact of rising soybean meal prices.
