Soybean Meal – Animal Feed from India
Soybean Meal is a high-protein, plant-based feed product that remains after the extraction of oil from soybeans. This by-product is one of the most important protein sources used globally in animal feed, accounting for nearly 65% of the total protein feed supply in the world. Thanks to its rich protein content, digestibility, and affordability, soybean meal has become an essential ingredient in poultry, dairy, cattle, fish, and pig feed formulations.
Global Cultivation & Trade Dynamics
Soybeans are cultivated on a massive scale in countries like Brazil, the United States, Argentina, and India. Among these, the United States leads in the production of organic soybean meal, while Argentina and Brazil dominate in soybean meal exports, shipping over 35 million metric tons combined annually. India contributes a significant share of non-GMO soybean meal, preferred in many parts of the world due to strict quality and residue-free assurance.
Top importers of soybean meal include China, Japan, Mexico, Vietnam, and the European Union. The demand continues to rise due to the growing meat and dairy industry, which relies heavily on efficient and affordable feed ingredients like soybean meal.
What is Soybean Meal?
Soybean Meal is the protein-rich solid mass left after oil is extracted from soybeans through solvent or mechanical processes. This residue is dried and ground into a meal that serves as a valuable feed for livestock and poultry.
It is classified based on protein content and fiber level, depending on whether the meal is processed from hulled or dehulled soybeans. The meal made from dehulled soybeans contains 47–49% protein and only 3% fiber, making it a highly concentrated feed material.

Key Applications
Soybean Meal is widely used in:

- Aquaculture – fish and shrimp feed
- Swine feed – piglets and adult pigs
- Organic fertilizer – due to high nitrogen content
Its high lysine and methionine content makes it ideal for rapid animal growth and improved milk/meat productivity.
Health Benefits of Soy and Soy Products
While it is primarily used in animal nutrition, soybeans in general have health-promoting properties for humans too. Soy-based foods may help reduce the risk of:
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Stroke and coronary heart disease
- Hormone-related cancers (like breast and prostate cancer)
- Osteoporosis and bone degeneration
Soy is a complete protein, making it suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets, and its daily inclusion in diets can offer long-term health benefits.
