How do I incorporate full fat soya in my broiler starters feed?

The raw beans are immersed in water and cooked for between 30 and 120 minutes. They are then dried mechanically, or alternatively spread out on the ground.

Full-fat soybeans (FFS) need to be subjected to proper heat treatment for inactivation of trypsin inhibitors and other anti-nutritional factors via extrusion, roasting, steam cooking, etc. Like any other ingredient, FFS should be offered as an ingredient in a least-cost formulation. Make sure that proper nutrient values and ingredient cost are loaded in the least-cost formulation software. A maximum inclusion level of properly heat-treated FFS in broiler diets was established 50 years ago at 25% (see attached paper). It is more common to see inclusion levels up to 8% in broiler diets. It is important to establish the proper metabolizable energy (ME) of FFS and also to consider the total amount of crude fat in the diet as well as a good ratio between digestible lysine and ME to avoid carcasses with excessive abdominal fat pads.

Incorporating full-fat soybean (soya) into broiler starter feed can be an effective way to provide a high-quality protein and energy source. However, it must be processed correctly and balanced with other feed ingredients to ensure the nutritional needs of the chicks are met. Here’s how to do it:
1. Processing Full-Fat Soybeans
Heat Treatment: Raw soybeans contain anti-nutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitors, which can reduce protein digestibility and affect growth. To make soybeans suitable for broiler feed, they must be heat-treated through:
Roasting
Extrusion
Steam cooking
The goal is to eliminate anti-nutritional factors without damaging the nutrients.
2. Determine Inclusion Levels
For broiler starter feeds, full-fat soybean can typically be included at 10-25% of the total feed, depending on:
-
Full fat soybeans (FFS) can be added to broiler starter feeds by steaming or roasting the soybeans, then grinding and mixing them into the feed.
