What is Soy Best?

Soy Best is high bypass soybean meal.  Our all-natural process of mechanical extraction carefully controls the cooking temperature of our soybeans for optimum rumen protein bypass and nutrient availability. By "cooking" our soybean meal, we are able to destroy negative nutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitors or molds, which lower nutrient availability and may cause potential herd problems. 

What's more, we recently introduced new-process Soy Best, which includes fresh soy gums - as well as lecithin, phosphatidyl-choline and phospholipids. These natural soy nutrients, when applied by our proprietary process, behave like rumen-protected fat. They act to increase protein bypass and amino acid bypass for dairy cows even more, when included in a Total Mixed Ration (TMR). In research published in the Journal of Dairy Science. Soy Best supplied more bypass protein than other products.

But that’s just half the story. Once the bypass protein reaches the intestine, it needs to be digested in order to be used by the cow. “Intestinal digestibility is important. It tells you how much of the amino acids in the bypass protein go to make milk, as opposed to manure” (Dr. John Shirley, Professor Emeritus and Dairy Nutritionist, Kansas State University).  In university research trials, Soy Best had greater intestinal digestibility than all other products tested.

In short, Soy Best is an excellent source of palatable, digestible, bypass protein.
