About Soybean Hulls
Byproduct of soybean oil extraction process with high palatability.
Nutritional value and use in livestock rations
Soybean Hulls is a concentrate feed and an energy source in the Pakistan Feed Library. On average soybean hulls contains crude protein 11.6% of dry matter, metabolisable energy 1.5 Mcal/kg, TDN 42.8% of dry matter, NDF 61.4% of dry matter.
Energy concentrates such as cereal grains and by-products raise the energy density of a ration. They are fed together with forage for fibre and with protein sources and minerals to keep the ration balanced.
Nutrient values vary with variety, growing conditions, processing and storage, so treat the averages as a guide. Send us your ration details if you would like advice on using it in a TMR.
TMR Pakistan supplies Soybean Meal in bulk for farms and feed mills. Add it to your quote list or contact us for a quotation.

- Laboratory analysis
- Calculated from lab data
SD = standard deviation DM = dry matter. Nutrients other than dry matter are expressed on a dry-matter basis. TDN = total digestible nutrients; ME, NEm, NEg, NEl and DE = metabolisable, net (maintenance / gain / lactation) and digestible energy.
