Soybean meal is a by-product obtained after extracting soybean oil from soybeans. It is obtained by extracting soybean oil from soybeans. About 85% of soybean meal is used to feed poultry and swine. It is mainly divided into first-soaked soybean meal and second-soaked soybean meal (the by-product after extracting soybean oil by leaching method is first-soaked soybean meal, and the by-product obtained after first extracting the oil by pressing and then leaching the oil is called second-soaked soybean meal). The production process of soaked soybean meal is relatively advanced and has high protein content. It is the main variety currently circulating in China's domestic spot market.

Extended information

1. Overview of domestic production

my country is a major producer of soybean meal. Its soybean meal production ranks fourth in the world after the United States, Brazil, and Argentina. . The three northeastern provinces are my country's main soybean producing areas and are also my country's soybean meal production bases. Together with Shandong, Hebei, and Henan, the soybean meal production accounts for more than 90% of the country's total.

2. Domestic soybean meal consumption

The characteristics of my country’s soybean meal market are production in the north and consumption in the south. The three northeastern provinces are the main soybean meal producers in my country, while the Pearl River Delta and the southeastern coastal areas are the main soybean meal consumers. Soybean meal consumption is mainly concentrated in Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, Chongqing, Beijing and Shanghai.

With the gradual improvement of people's living standards, my country's urban and rural residents' intake of meat, eggs, poultry, fish and other foods has increased significantly, which has promoted the rapid development of the feed processing industry. The feed used for poultry and high-quality lean pigs has increased rapidly, stimulating the demand for high-quality protein feed. There are many cake products in our country, and the output of rapeseed and cottonseed cakes is also very large. However, these two cakes must be detoxified before they can be used as feed. Therefore, the high-quality cake currently used in China is mainly soybean meal.
