Nutritional Value of Condensed Soybean Solubles for Beef Cattle and Sheep^1,2,

Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907

Abstract

One cattle experiment and two lamb experiments were conducted to study the nutritive value of condensed soy solubles (CSS). In the cattle trial CSS was substituted for cane molasses in a high urea beef cattle supplement, in the presence of either 14% dehydrated alfalfa meal or 14% ground corn cobs in the supplement. Performance (rate of gain and efficiency of feed conversion) was not significantly different among the treatments indicating CSS may substitute for cane molasses in cattle supplement formulation.

Levels of 0, 2.5, 5, 10 or 15% condensed soy solubles were substituted for corn in pelleted complete lamb diets in two experiments. Although rates of gain among the treatments were not significantly different, efficiencies of feed conversion indicated CSS could replace for an equal weight of corn up to a practical maximum of 10% of the total diet without appreciably altering rate of gain or efficiency of feed conversion appreciably.
