46%, 48% or Hi-Pro: Choosing the Right Soybean Meal Grade

Protein is only half the story. Fibre, sand and silica levels decide whether a meal suits broilers, layers, swine or aquaculture rations.

De-oiled soybean meal remains the benchmark vegetable protein in global feed formulation. Agrovet supplies it in three grades, and the right choice depends less on headline protein than on the fibre and mineral profile.

Standard 46%

46% protein with fibre up to 7% and sand/silica to 2.5%. Cost-effective for mature ruminant and general poultry rations where energy density is supplied elsewhere in the mix.

48% grade

48% protein, fibre reduced to 5–6% and sand/silica to 1–2%. The workhorse for commercial broiler and layer diets requiring a tighter nutrient window.

Hi-Pro (50%)

50% protein minimum, fibre at 4% max and sand/silica at 1% max. Specified for young-animal and aquaculture feed, where low fibre directly improves digestibility and water quality.

Loading and packing

All grades ship in 50 kg PP bags, 1 MT jumbo bags or bulk, loading approximately 26 MT per 20 ft container.
