Soybean
Soybeans are an oilseed that is widely used in animal nutrition for its nutritional properties. Soybeans are recognized as a feedstuff that provides high levels of amino acids in animal feed, with the exception of methionine
Soybean meal
Soybean meal is the most widespread protein supplement for poultry, pigs and other farm animals. The protein content in soybean meal serves as a standard, that other protein sources are compared to. Amino acids contained in soymeal complement amino acid composition of grains, improving nutrition digestibility for all species and ages of the poultry and pigs.
| Qualitative characteristics: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Mass fraction of protein (as is) | not less than 46% | |
| Mass fraction of fiber | not more than 7% | |
| Mass fraction of fat | not more than 1.5% | |
| Moisture | not more than 10% | |
Soybean cake
Soybean cake is an important source of proteins for farm animals feeding. Protein content of soybean cake exceeds all other vegetable protein sources and serves as a standard of nutrition value. Soybean cake serves as a rich source of lysine, tryptophan, threonine, isoleucine and valine — amino acids that are deficient in corn, sorgo and other feed cereals, traditionally used for feeding poultry and pigs.
| Qualitative characteristics: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Mass fraction of protein (as is) | not less than 44.0% | |
| Mass fraction of fiber | not more than 7% | |
| Mass fraction of fat | 0.5% | |
| Moisture | not more than 12% | |
Soybean oil
Soybean oil is highly nutritious concentrated product essential to high energy diets of modern breeds of farm animals and poultry. Soybean oil supplementation increases energetic value of the feed and reduces the number of eating disorders, caused by grains rich with complex carbohydrates.

Rapeseed
Rapeseed is an oilseed grown to produce oil for cooking, animal feed and industrial processes. Rapeseed contains fatty acids, phytosterols and vitamin E.
Rapeseed meal
Rapeseed meal is an important protein component of animal nutrition, particularly for feeding poultry and pigs. Rapeseed meal contains more calcium, phosphorus, niacin and choline vitamins than any other vegetable meals, including soybean and sunflower meals.
| Qualitative characteristics: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Mass fraction of protein (as is) | not less than 37.0% | |
| Mass fraction of fiber | not more than 16.0% | |
| Mass fraction of fat | not more than 3.0% | |
| Moisture | not more than 12% | |
| Erucic acid% | not more than 5% | |
Crude rapeseed oil
Crude rapeseed oilis the world’s third most produced oil following soybean and palm oils. Rapeseed oil is used as the supplement for feeding poultry and farm animals, in steel and textile industries and as a raw material used in production of biodiesel fuel.
| Qualitative characteristics: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Color number, mg | max 85 | |
| Acid number, mg KOH/g | max 4 | |
| Moisture and volatile substances, % | max 0.25% | |
| Phosphorus content as per (P2O5) | max 0,76% | |
| Mass fraction of the erucic acid | max 5% | |
Field
Field corn is the most widespread crop in the world. It’s generally used for commercial feeding of poultry and farm animals. Field corn is valued for its palpability, highly concentrated energy content and for the absence of anti-nutritional factors.
| Qualitative characteristics: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Moisture and volatile substances | max 14% | |
| Foreign matters | max 2% | |
| Other cereals | max 15% | |
Sunflower meal
Sunflower meal is a great source of vegetable protein and amino acids that facilitate digestion. It’s nutritional value is equivalent to soybean meal and is much higher than rapeseed and cotton meals’ values. Comparatively low amount of lysine in sunflower is compensated by its methionine content.
| Qualitative characteristics: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Mass fraction of protein (as is) | min 38% | |
| Mass fraction of fiber | max 20% | |
| Mass fraction of fat | max 2.5% | |
| Moisture | max 11% | |
Wheat
Wheat is a product of high tolerance and an easily digestible source of nutrients for all classes of farm animal groups.
