Full-Fat Toasted & Extruded Soybeans

Premium Extruded Full-Fat Soybeans for Animal Nutrition

Full-Fat Toasted & Extruded Soybeans are premium-quality feed materials developed to deliver highly digestible protein and natural energy in a single ingredient. Through a carefully controlled combination of toasting and extrusion, the soybean's nutritional value is significantly enhanced while anti-nutritional factors are effectively reduced. The result is a functional feed ingredient that combines high-quality protein with naturally occurring soybean oil, making it particularly suitable for high-performance diets in swine, poultry and petfood.

Unlike conventional soybean meal, full-fat extruded soybeans retain their natural oil fraction. This provides an excellent balance between protein and energy while maintaining the natural structure of the soybean. During the extrusion process, pressure, heat and mechanical shear disrupt the cellular structure, increasing the availability of both nutrients and allowing digestive enzymes better access to protein and lipids.

Advanced extrusion technology

The production process combines controlled toasting with high-temperature extrusion to maximise nutritional availability without compromising protein quality. Correct heat treatment effectively reduces anti-nutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitors and urease activity while preserving the digestibility of amino acids. At the same time, the extrusion process releases the naturally present soybean oil from the cellular structure, making it considerably more available for digestion.

Because protein and oil remain together within the original soybean matrix, animals receive both nutrients simultaneously. This differs from diets formulated with soybean meal and separately added vegetable oil, where protein and energy originate from different raw materials.

Highly digestible protein and energy

Full-Fat Toasted & Extruded Soybeans provide approximately 35–38% crude protein together with around 18–20% natural soybean oil. The combination delivers an excellent balance between digestible amino acids and metabolizable energy, allowing nutritionists to formulate concentrated diets with fewer individual ingredients.

Independent digestibility research has demonstrated excellent nutrient utilisation. The product achieved a Net Energy value of 13.05 MJ/kg for pigs, exceeding conventional toasted soybeans. Fat digestibility reached approximately 91%, while protein digestibility remained comparable to high-quality toasted soybeans, demonstrating that the extrusion process improves oil utilisation without compromising protein quality. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Reduced anti-nutritional factors

Raw soybeans naturally contain anti-nutritional compounds that interfere with protein digestion. The combined toasting and extrusion process effectively reduces these compounds, improving ingredient safety and nutritional value. The process also reduces bitter components, resulting in a more palatable feed ingredient that can contribute to consistent feed intake, particularly in young animals.

Superior oil availability

One of the major advantages of extrusion is the improved availability of the naturally occurring soybean oil. Instead of adding free vegetable oil separately, the oil remains incorporated within the soybean structure. The extrusion process breaks open the cells, allowing digestive enzymes to access both oil and protein more efficiently.

This natural combination supports efficient energy utilisation and provides a stable source of dietary fat for livestock. Research has shown that fat digestibility is higher than that reported for conventional toasted soybeans, making extruded full-fat soybeans particularly valuable in energy-dense feed formulations. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Performance in pig nutrition

Young piglets require highly digestible ingredients immediately after weaning. Extruded full-fat soybeans provide readily available protein and energy while reducing the anti-nutritional load commonly associated with raw soybeans. Independent feeding trials demonstrated numerically higher body weight, daily weight gain and feed intake in piglets receiving extruded soybeans compared with diets based on soybean meal and added soybean oil. Feed conversion also showed a favourable trend, while firmer faeces were observed throughout the trial. Although these differences were not statistically significant, the results demonstrate the practical potential of properly processed full-fat soybeans in piglet nutrition. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Applications in poultry nutrition

For broilers and laying hens, balanced protein and energy supply are essential for efficient production. Full-Fat Toasted & Extruded Soybeans provide digestible amino acids together with highly available oil energy in one natural ingredient. The product supports modern feed formulations aimed at growth, feed efficiency and consistent production performance while reducing the need for separately added vegetable oils.

Suitable for premium petfood

Premium petfood increasingly relies on highly digestible ingredients with consistent nutritional quality. Full-fat extruded soybeans provide naturally balanced protein and energy, excellent palatability and stable processing characteristics. Their high digestibility and reduced anti-nutritional factor content make them suitable for premium petfood applications where ingredient quality and consistency are essential.
