USSEC Provides Technical Assistance on the Use of Full Fat Soybean Meal in Southeastern Mexico

Inter Industrias del Sur Este, formed by eight feed mills, imports U.S. products, especially corn and U.S. soybeans (87,000 metric tons (MT)/year) for those feed mills. The company recently requested USSEC's advice regarding the use of more full fat soybean meal (FFSBM) in poultry diets because one of its members, CRIO Group, wanted to increase the level of FFSBM in its diets, and they had several questions on the efficient use of FFSBM.
CRIO Group is the fourth largest hen laying company in Mexico with 6.5 million layers and produces 11,000 broilers per week. CRIO uses 5000 MT/month of full-fat soybeans from U.S. beans and also buys 7,500 MT/month of soybean meal. The group’s main questions were related to the nutritional value of FFSBM and soybean meal, the effect of processing in its nutritional value, ways to evaluate good quality FFSBM and soybean meal, as well as many questions about the problems of high levels of FFSBM in diets and general questions about these two soybean products.
To answer these questions, USSEC animal utilization consultant Carlos Campabadal presented two conferences to CRIO’s technical staff titled, "The Effect of Using a Low Quality Processed Soybean Meal” and “The Use of Full Fat Soybeans in Animal Diets.” Dr. Campabadal recommended increasing the level of FFSBM in the poultry diets between five and ten percent.
During this trip, Dr. Campabadal also visited other members of the Inter Industrias del Sur Este including Lorgan, Malta Texo, and Industria Avipecuarias Peninsulares (KAKI), and they received technical assistance in poultry nutrition and feed manufacturing.
