Ask your feed supplier about Soy PLUS! SoyPLUS can boost income over feed costs by delivering more undegradable protein to the small intestine, where nutrient absorption really takes place. SoyPLUS is a richly aromatic, high-energy soybean meal that has been processed in a unique way to increase its level of undegrad able (bypass) protein.
