Base Feeds
Soya Bean Hull
Soya beans are primarily processed for their oil, which leads to the generation of two primary by-products – Soya Bean Meal and Soya Bean Hulls. Soya Bean Hulls are the outer coating of the soya bean and this hull is removed when soya beans are processed into Soya Bean Meal. Soya Bean Hulls are quite small in size and are not very dense so are pelleted to increase ease of handling and bulk density. With respect to nutritional value, the loose and pelleted hulls are equal.
Nutritional Benefits
Soya Bean Hulls are a highly digestible fibre source. They can replace both the fibre and some of the grain portion of the diet due to their energy level and digestibility. In diets where forage is being consumed Soya Bean Hulls can have a positive impact on forage intake and digestibility.
Feeding Recommendations
Soya Bean Hulls can be fed from 0.5-5kg per cow per day. Soyabean hulls have a high nutritive value for ruminants and is a highly digestible fibre source. Supplementing diets with soyabean hulls increase rumen microflora flow and rumen fibre digestion. However, soyabean hulls do not provide the same effective fibre (large particle size) as roughages.
