NCI is pleased to announce the release of the Fullfat Soybean Meal Handbook and webinar series.  The 80-page handbook informs the reader about the processing and feeding of fullfat soybean meal to the major animal groups. Purchasers of the handbook receive access to four pre-recorded webinars on the feeding of fullfat soybean meal to Swine, Poultry, Ruminants and Aquaculture.


About the Handbook.

Since it had been over 20 years since the Fullfat Soya Handbook had been updated, conversations between the Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council, the North Dakota Soybean Council, the Northern Crops Institute, and South Dakota State University in the fall of 2017 led to the development of this latest version of the Fullfat Soybean Meal handbook. The goal of the latest edition was not to create a totally new and different publication, but rather to build on the solid groundwork of the first two editions of the handbook. Well-known and respected scientists within each discipline were asked to do a comprehensive literature review of fullfat soybean use in their field, and then write a chapter summarizing what they found.

Chapters Include:

  • Why Whole Soybeans Require Heat Treatment Prior to Use in Animal Feed

  • Common Methods Used in the Heat Treatment of Soybeans

  • Measuring Nutritional Quality of Fullfat Soybeans

  • Fullfat Soybean Storage and “Keeping” Conditions

  • Nutritional Characteristics of Fullfat Soybeans

  • Economic and Practical Considerations

  • Fullfat Soybeans for Poultry

  • Fullfat Soybeans for Swine

  • Fullfat Soybeans for Aquaculture

  • Fullfat Soybeans for Ruminants

  • Fullfat Soybean Use in Companion Animal Diets

  • The Use of Fullfat Soybeans in Rabbit Feeding

  • Fullfat Soybeans in Feeding Fur Bearing Animals

The handbook is edited by Robert Thaler, Ph.D. of South Dakota State University, and is written by Mike Brown, Ph.D., Fernando Diaz, Ph.D., Alvaro Garcia, Ph.D., Kim Koch, Ph.D., Robert Swick, Ph.D., Robert Thaler, Ph.D., Michelle Smiricky Tjardes, Ph. D.
