Features & Benefits

Benefits

Improve efficiency of protein utilization

• Optimize dietary RUP:RDP ratios

• Reduce dietary protein levels

• Reduce nitrogen in wastes
Intestinal Digestibility -In the manufacturing of plant-based bypass proteins, the increases in the rumen bypass characteristics can sometimes result in decreased intestinal digestibility of the bypass portion. The SoyPlus manufacturing process is designed to optimize the relationship between ruminal bypass and intestinal digestibility. Years of university research and third-party laboratory testing verify that both the ruminal bypass and intestinal digestibility of the proteins in SoyPlus have been maximized.
Higher Energy and Essential Fatty Acids- SoyPlus is higher in energy than solvent extracted products. SoyPlus contains essential fatty acids which can replace some of the supplemental fat sources that may be added separately to the ration. With a fat percentage of roughly 6%, SoyPlus provides higher energy content than solvent-extracted products providing average fat of 1-2%.

Supports Rumen Microbial Growth-Even the small portion of protein that is ruminally degradable still makes valuable contributions to the metabolizable protein supply to the animal. The rumen degradable protein in SoyPlus exists as both quickly-metabolized soluble protein and more slowly degraded proteins to provide a steady supply of nitrogen necessary for sustained ruminal microbial protein synthesis. SoyPlus contains a good mix of sugars, starches, and highly digestible soluble fiber. Together, the degradable protein and energy sources drive rumen microbial growth and enhance rumen microbial digestion of the entire ration.

Palatability-SoyPlus has a pleasant roasted aroma. The higher fat content contributes flavor and dust control resulting in high dry matter intake and more milk production.

All Natural-Unlike solvent extracted soybean meal, some of which is made with hexane, SoyPlus is made without added chemicals. It is entirely plant derived.

Research Proven-Your decision on which protein products will best supply the metabolizable protein and essential amino acids your cows need while supplying energy and supporting microbial protein production should be based on a review of controlled research data. SoyPlus has been extensively researched at major universities throughout the USA. Using SoyPlus to balance degradable and undegradable protein ratios and supply limiting amino acids allows for lower total protein diets to reduce feed costs while maintaining or improving milk production and components.
