Another advantage is the energy they provide, and the biggest advantage of all (for me) I grow my own. It has been recommended by several university studies to limit the amount of soybeans to meet the protein requirements of the animal. Any amount above this level can cause a few problems, however it can be done.
Whole soybeans can cause problems in cows too. However they must be fed in fairly large quantities to cause any problems. They contain an enzyme that will interfere with the animal if present in large enough quantities. This enzyme can be destroyed with heat treatment.Big D":2kunuvwk said:Great for cattle.
