Well

Can contain up to 80% protein, as well as fatty acids and antimicrobial peptides.

Thanks

Contains about 50% crude protein, and most anti-nutritional factors are neutralized during extraction.

This ingredient has become increasingly available during the past few years. Peanut meal has about the same protein as soybean meal (47-48%).

There are plenty of proteinaceous feedstuffs that can be used in poultry from plant and animal and microbial sources. Plant feedstuffs include soybean meal, canola meal, copra meal, corn gluten feed, corn gluten meal, distillers grains with solubles (from corn sorghum and other grains), corn germ meal, peas, cottonseed meal, palm kernel meal, field peas, rapeseed meal, sunflower meal, camelina meal, safflower meal, and more. Animal and microbial derived sources include blood meal, meat and bone meal, plasma protein, spray dried eggs, feather meal, poultry byproduct meal, fish meal, black soldier fly larvae meal, yeast (concentrates, extracts, etc.), and many more. Many of the proteinaceous sources, with the exception of soybean meal, have inclusion levels limits due to antinutritional factors. The availability and quality of proteinaceous feedstuffs can vary greatly and thus it is difficult to obtain a steady supply of a consistent quality. Finally, the price of many proteinaceous feedstuffs is not competitive against soybean meal; think about the cost per unit of digestible amino acid and not the cost per ton. Inclusion of certain proteinaceous feedstuffs may require higher inclusion levels of supplemental amino acids and energy (e.g., fats and oils), which makes the final feed cost more expensive than using soybean meal. Bottom line, using least-cost formulation programs and understanding of shadow pricing is a great way to evaluate the economic feasibility to reduce the inclusion of soybean meal in poultry feeds with other ingredients.
