USSEC Emphasizes Amino Acid Profile of U.S. Soybean Meal to Korean Feed Industry at Seminar

USSEC hosted a soybean meal technical seminar, “Soybean Meal and Amino Acid Nutrition” in South Korea on June 9, targeting the technical and purchasing staffs of feed mills and integrators in the Korean swine and broiler sectors. The objective of the seminar was to discuss the importance of amino acid in swine and broiler growth performance and differentiate U.S. soybean meal from South American soybean meals based on amino acid profile.
USSEC hired four local speakers to discuss amino acid and energy requirement; the current and future market situation of the Korean swine industry; the composition of soybean meal and its associated amino acid profiles; and the amino acid digestibility of soybean meal. More than 60 industry participants attended the seminar and listened to USSEC’s message on the amino acid profile of soybean meal.
USSEC emphasized the amino acid profile of U.S. soybean meal in terms of total-, essential- and digestible amino acid, suggesting the target audiences request supplier data on amino acid profile of the soybean meals they supply and to evaluate the soybean meals on amino acid rather than crude protein.
A survey at the end of the seminar indicated that the target audiences agreed that they will consider amino acid profile and content at soybean meal purchasing (average score 8.24 out of 10 point scale); digestible amino acid and energy content in soybean meals are different by origin (8.55 out of 10); and U.S. soybean meal is strong in quality, transparent trade, stable supply and risk management (8.24 out of 10).
