The soybean meal characterized the highest content of protein and amino acids and its good point are big consignments on homogenous nutritional value. In the regard of big quantity of soybean meal in mixtures the small difference in nutritional value in this feed may have influence on balance of nutrients in diets and animal performance. Rapeseed may be one alternative to soybeans. If 25% of soybean meal in mixtures for poultry was replace by rapeseed meal the quantity of imported soybean meal may decrease of about 0.18-0.2mln ton. On the ground of investigations conducting with rape cakes were ascertained that rape cakes can replace about 15-20% of soybean meal, but efficiency of rape product will be at about 15-20% worse. The lower intestine digestibility of amino acids for rape cakes (70-75%) than for soybean meal (90-92%) is this cause. The rape products can completely replace soybean meal in fattening pigs and cows. It is possibility of replacing soybean meal by domestic feeds in mixtures for poultry, mainly for broiler chickens at level of 300 thou. ton, in mixtures for pigs -180 thou. ton and for cattle 20 thou. ton. In general domestic high protein feeds can replace about 500 thou. ton of soybean meal what make about 25% of imported soybean meal. In connection with low utilization of fat from rape cake, the investigations relating of its utilization should be conducted. One ought to limit of variability in chemical composition and nutritive value of rape cake. In the regard of increasing interest of rape cultivation one should expand a system of small oil mill. These ought decrease cost of transportation of materials and products and influence of higher utilization of rape cake in animal nutrition. In Poland obtained about 3mln ton of rapeseeds. If the take cognizance of that from 100kg of rapeseeds are obtained the 40kg oil and 60kg rape meal or rape cakes, it is possible to production of about 1.8 mln ton of feeds with high protein content and about 0.6 mln ton of crude protein.

The nutritional value of damaged soybean seeds can be significantly affected, altering their normal nutritional profile. The nutritional value of damaged soybean seeds depends on the cause of the damage and the degree of damage. Generally, damaged soybean seeds may have reduced levels of protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. In addition, they may produce toxic substances that may be harmful to human health.

In addition to its rich protein (35–45%) and oil content (15–25%), soybean seed also contains about 33% carbohydrates, up to 16.6% of which are soluble sugars (Hou et al. 2009). The soy protein has a very significant amino acid composition as it complements to that of cereal.

Soybean seeds are being damaged during processing due to overheating and thus affects Nutrients content both in quantity and quality.
Protein are being denatured and thus causes reduction in Protein biological value due to transformation of essential amino acid occasioned by overheating.

Damaged soybean seeds have reduced nutritional value due to protein degradation, oil oxidation, and potential fungal contamination (e.g., mycotoxins). This lowers their protein quality, energy content, and safety for consumption. Healthy seeds typically contain ~40% protein, ~20% oil, and bioactive compounds like isoflavones, which are all negatively affected by damage.Damaged soybean seeds have reduced nutritional value due to protein degradation, oil oxidation, and potential fungal contamination (e.g., mycotoxins).
