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.

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.

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.
