Goats vs Soy Bean Meal

[Chris]

Please fill free to disagree but,
The OP was asking about the use of Soybean Meal (SBM) in a goat feed. Keep in mind that goats are a ruminant animal and can process food/feed differently than a single stomach animal including humans and also the affects of Raw Soybean is very different than the affect of Soybean Meal and Whole Roasted/Full Fat Soybean.

In short links and studies posted on none ruminant animals mean absolutely nothing.

Is soy bean meal too much protein for goats to be added to their diet?

our feed ration contains soy bean meal and whole roasted soybeans. But it is a formulated ration.
I have heard of people using a little soybean meal as a starter creepfeed. I have never tried it.

Bob,
The mix I use contains Soybean Meal, Whole Roasted Soybean and Soybean Hulls and have had no ill affects.
