In this module I will introduce a range of proteins and show that SBM is a more efficient source of protein compared to other crops.  The objective is to shift purchasing objectives away from crude protein content towards digestible amino acid supply. There will be some commentary on the impact of digestive efficiency in terms of nitrogen ecology and how performance can be affected in practice by oversupply of crude protein relative to digestible amino acid content.

SBM digestibility has improved over the years and we will explore the impact of these changes.
