Soybean Extract - Feed Ingredient

Soybean Extract is produced from soybeans by extracting water-soluble or ethanol-soluble components. Often referred to as soy extract or soybean solubles, the process involves removing a portion of the oil and isolating compounds such as proteins, peptides, oligosaccharides, and isoflavones. This extraction reduces fat content and minimizes naturally occurring anti-nutritional factors found in whole soybeans.

In equine nutrition, soybean extract is used in small amounts to supplement the overall nutrient profile of feed formulations. It serves as an additional source of protein and amino acids and contributes bioactive compounds that can enhance feed palatability. The extraction process helps to create a product that is more digestible and less likely to cause sensitivities compared to raw soybean ingredients, making it suitable for careful inclusion in balanced equine diets.
