Soybean meal (SBM) is a common protein source that supplies the majority of protein in most animal diets. The attractive amino acid profile, economical cost and availability contribute its use as a protein source.

Providing piglets with a high-quality protein source is necessary for improved growth and health. Animal protein sources, like blood products and fish meal, have historically been the first choice for piglet feeds, but new developments in fermentation technology now give feed producers a non-animal protein option without sacrificing performance.
