Full-Fat Toasted Soybeans

Full-Fat Toasted Soybeans for Poultry and Animal Nutrition

Full-Fat Toasted Soybeans combine soybean protein and naturally occurring soybean oil in one versatile feed ingredient. With 362 g/kg crude protein and 195 g/kg crude fat, the product provides a combined source of protein and energy for poultry feed and other suitable animal nutrition applications.

Designed for cost-conscious feed formulation, Full-Fat Toasted Soybeans offer nutritionists an ingredient that can be evaluated as an alternative to combining soybean meal with separately added vegetable oil. Their nutritional composition and suitability for different feed applications make them a practical option for feed manufacturers seeking flexibility in raw material selection.

The product consists of toasted full-fat soybeans with a specified moisture content of 11%. It is not extruded and should be distinguished from Full-Fat Toasted & Extruded Soybeans, which Cropenta positions primarily for piglet and swine nutrition.

Natural Soybean Protein and Oil in One Ingredient

Full-fat soybeans retain the natural oil fraction of the soybean alongside its protein. This provides two important nutritional components within a single feed ingredient.

The product contains 362 g/kg crude protein, 195 g/kg crude fat and 102 g/kg linoleic acid. The protein fraction supplies amino acids, while the retained soybean oil contributes dietary fat and energy.

By supplying protein and oil together, the ingredient can be considered when evaluating formulations that would otherwise combine soybean meal with separately added vegetable oil. The appropriate substitution depends on the nutritional requirements and composition of the complete feed.

Toasted Soybeans for Feed Formulation

Full-Fat Toasted Soybeans undergo thermal processing through toasting. This treatment is intended to reduce heat-sensitive anti-nutritional factors naturally present in raw soybeans and prepare the ingredient for use in animal feed.

Raw soybeans contain anti-nutritional factors, including trypsin inhibitors, which can interfere with protein digestion. Appropriate heat treatment is therefore important for the nutritional quality of soybean ingredients.

The objective of processing is to reduce these factors while preserving the nutritional contribution of the protein and natural oil. The supplied product specification describes a reduction in anti-nutritional factors but does not provide a numerical result for residual trypsin inhibitor activity or a measured percentage reduction.

This product is toasted rather than extruded. Nutritional values and research findings from extruded soybean products should not automatically be applied to Full-Fat Toasted Soybeans.

A Protein and Energy Ingredient for Poultry Nutrition

Poultry nutrition is the primary commercial application for Cropenta's Full-Fat Toasted Soybeans. The product supplies soybean protein, naturally occurring oil and digestible amino acids for use in poultry feed formulation.

The product specification provides digestible amino acid values for poultry, including 19.3 g/kg digestible lysine, 4.3 g/kg digestible methionine, 4.4 g/kg digestible cystine, 11.7 g/kg digestible threonine and 4.1 g/kg digestible tryptophan.

These values allow nutritionists to evaluate the ingredient's contribution to the amino acid profile of poultry diets alongside its protein and fat content.

The product specification recommends an indicative inclusion range of 5–20% in poultry feed, depending on the species, age and intended application. The appropriate level should be established through formulation of the complete feed.

Formulation Flexibility for Feed Manufacturers

Full-Fat Toasted Soybeans offer feed manufacturers a combined source of soybean protein and natural oil. The ingredient can be evaluated against the nutritional contribution of soybean meal and separately added vegetable oil.

This comparison should consider crude protein, digestible amino acids, fat content, the energy values used in the applicable formulation system and the requirements of the finished feed.

The product's commercial value depends on raw material prices, transport costs and the complete formulation. Its combined protein-and-oil composition offers an additional option for feed manufacturers seeking to balance nutritional requirements and ingredient costs.

The same ingredient may be considered for different suitable feed programmes, subject to the nutritional requirements of each animal category. This provides flexibility in raw material selection without implying that one formulation or inclusion rate is appropriate for every species.

Key Benefits of Full-Fat Toasted Soybeans

• Combines soybean protein and naturally occurring oil in one feed ingredient.
• Provides 362 g/kg crude protein and 195 g/kg crude fat.
• Contains 102 g/kg linoleic acid.
• Supplies specified digestible amino acids for poultry feed formulation.
• Undergoes toasting to reduce heat-sensitive anti-nutritional factors.
• Offers a combined protein-and-energy option for poultry nutrition.
• Can be evaluated as an alternative to soybean meal combined with added vegetable oil.
• Suitable for consideration across different animal feed applications.
• Contains 11% moisture according to the product specification.
• Provides a practical raw material option for cost-conscious feed formulation.

Broad Application Across Animal Feed

Although poultry is the primary commercial focus, Full-Fat Toasted Soybeans are not limited to one animal category. The supplied product specification also identifies applications in piglet and sow diets.

This broad applicability allows feed manufacturers to evaluate the same raw material for multiple suitable feed programmes. Nutritional requirements, digestible amino acid values and inclusion levels must be assessed separately for each species and production stage.

Cropenta's Full-Fat Toasted & Extruded Soybeans are positioned separately as the primary product for piglet and swine nutrition. Full-Fat Toasted Soybeans provide an additional option for poultry and other suitable animal feed applications.

Indicative Inclusion Rates

The product specification provides the following general inclusion guidance:

• Poultry: 5–20% of the complete feed, depending on species, age and intended application.
• Piglets: 7–15% of the complete feed.
• Sows: 10–15% of the complete feed.

These figures are indicative recommendations from the product specification. Final inclusion levels should be determined according to the complete formulation and the nutritional requirements of the target animals.
