Soybeans are a popular animal feed due to their high-quality protein content and relatively low cost. These are two essential factors to farmers around the world, and the only real downside to soybeans is that they do require a certain amount of processing before they can be fed to some animals. In this article, we will be looking at how to roast soybeans for feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Roast Soybeans?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"why<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Feeding raw soybeans can have a detrimental effect<\/a> on single-stomached animals. The reason for this is that they contain a trypsin inhibitor that prevents protein uptake. The beans also contain a protein called Soyin which, when raw, can be toxic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By heat-treating soybeans, these problems can be removed, leaving a high protein product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soybeans are the most common protein crop<\/a> for feeding to livestock in the world. Roasted soybeans are more suitable for single-stomached mammals and poultry than for ruminants, which do better on soy meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the problems with other protein feeds such as flaxseed, or lupin is Lysine deficiency. Lysine is an essential amino acid necessary for good overall health. Soybeans are high in Lysine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roasted soybeans have a crude protein dry matter content of between 33% and 44% and contain 15% to 22% fat. They can make up 18% of the daily ration in dry matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The overheating of soybeans is undesirable. It reduces the amount of quality protein by making it unavailable to the animal\u2019s metabolism. For this reason, care must be taken to prevent overheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Roast Soybeans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"roasting<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the size of your enterprise, there are various ways to roast soybeans. We\u2019ll be taking a look at a few of the different choices here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large Scale<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

High-temperature air dryers and drum roasters are the two principal types of roasters for processing soybeans on a large scale, air dryers and drum roasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A high temperature air dryer conveys the soybeans along a floor that contains perforations where hot air is blown. This type of roaster causes less scorching than a drum roaster but is more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drum roasters drop the soybeans into a rotating drum, rather like a clothes dryer. The temperature inside can be 400\u00b0F to 600\u00b0F. The beans are tumbled inside for around a minute before being ejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes beans take too long to come out and can be scorched, but this has a minimal detrimental effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of both types of roasters is to provide even heating of the beans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a small machine that can cater for 1 ton at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
