Soybean meal moisture content: 10–12% (safe level; should not exceed 12%).

The moisture content of soybean meal typically ranges from 7% to 12%. Maintaining this moisture level is essential for preserving the feed’s quality and nutritional value.

Optimal Harvest,13% to 15%,”Maximizes yield weight and minimizes field losses (shatter, lodged plants) and mechanical damage (splits, cracks) during combining.”
High Moisture,>15% to 18%,”Threshing becomes difficult, and more beans can be crushed and bruised during harvest.”
Low Moisture,<11%,Significantly increases shatter losses from the combine and can cause the beans to be brittle and split during handling.
