University of Minnesota Study 

 

Following are results from analyses completed in Minnesota's laboratory: 

 

Sample Crude Protein
(% as fed)
CP Solubility
(% of CP)
RUPa
(% of CP)
Rate of CP
Degradation (%/h)
IDb
(% of RUP)
IADPc
(ID x RUP)
Extruded/Expelled
Soybean Meal

a RUP = Ruminally undegradable protein. 
b ID = Intestinal CP digestion. 
c IADP = Intestinally absorbalbe dietary protein. 

Results indicate that RUP was greater than our standard soybean meal, while intestinal digestion was much improved at 90.4%.  The IADP indicates effective processing of the soybean meal.
