Soybean meal (SBM) is the primary, most widely used plant-based protein source in poultry feed globally, valued for its high digestibility (40–48% crude protein) and excellent essential amino acid profile. It is commonly used in formulated broiler and layer feeds to ensure rapid growth and high-quality egg production.

The main protein source in poultry feed globally is soybean meal, valued for its high protein content, excellent amino acid profile, and digestibility, making it the standard for chicken diets worldwide, though other sources like corn gluten meal, canola meal, and animal proteins (fish meal, meat/bone meal) are also used.
