1 PUBLISHED BY SOYBEAN GROWERS FOR THE FEED INDUSTRY January 2017 U.S. Soybean Produc on and Use (January 2017) The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is predic ng soybean produc on for the 2016/2017 marke ng year that began September 1, at 4,307 million bushels of which 1,930 million bushels will be crushed and 2,030 million will be exported. These values are significantly higher than previous years. Domes c produc on of soybean meal is predicted at 46,311 thousand short tons which is also greater than previous marke ng years. Both domes c soybean meal use and exports are es mated higher than previous marke ng years. Bo om line, there are adequate supplies of soybean and soybean meal available for both the domes c and foreign user of soybeans and soybean meal. Our farmers are looking forward to the coming spring and plan ng the new crop. With normal weather farmers will con nue to produce a raw material important to providing a protein feed ingredient cri cal to the World s growing demand for meat, milk and eggs. U.S. Soybean Produc on and Use

2 U.S. Soybean Meal Produc on and Use World Consump on of Soybean Meal (January 2017) The U.S, Department of Agriculture s Foreign Agriculture Service office of Global Analysis has published values for soybean meal use by country. The values are interes ng and somewhat surprising that nearly 60% of the soybean meal is consumed in three countries; China, the European Union and the United States. It is not surprising that these same countries have large numbers of swine, poultry and aquaculture, all needing a quality protein ingredient to formulate feeds which support commercial produc on of meat, milk and eggs.

January h p://apps.fas.usda.gov/podonline/applindex.htm#/app/downloads Energy Values for Soybean Meal (January 2017) Apparent metabolizable energy (AME) and net energy (NE) values of regular (SBM) and dehulled soybean meal (DSBM) were determined for broiler breeding cocks using the indirect calorimetry method. The test diets replaced 25% of the corn soybean meal basal diet. Eighteen 50 weekold Arbor Acre broiler breeding cocks were used in a completely randomized design to determine energy values of the test ingredients. A er a 7 day dietary adapta on period, 6 birds from each treatment were assigned to individual respira on chambers for energy measurement via gaseous exchange and total excreta collec on for 10 days. The heat produc on (HP), fas ng heat produc on (FHP), and respira on quo ent (RQ)

3 were not influenced by the various experimental diets. Results of this experiment found the soybean meal subs tu on had no effect on HP, FHP, or RQ. The average AME and NE content was calculated to be 2,492 and 1,581 kcal/kg (DM basis) for SBM and 2,580 and 1,654 kcal/kg (DM basis) for DSBM, respec vely. Liu, W. and co workers Apparent metabolizable and net energy values of corn and soybean meal for broiler breeding cocks. Poultry Sci. 96 (1): Non phytate Phosphorus Requirement of Broilers (January 2017) An experiment was conducted to inves gate the effect of dietary non phytate phosphorus (NPP) level on growth performance, bone characteris cs and phosphorus metabolism related gene expressions, to evaluate the dietary NPP requirement of broiler chicks fed a conven onal corn soybean meal diet from 1 to 21 d of age. A total of 540 day old Arbor Acres male chicks were randomly allocated to one of nine treatments with six replicate cages of 10 birds per cage in a completely randomized design, and fed a basal corn soybean meal diet (containing 0.08% of NPP) supplemented with 0.10, 0.15, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45, or 0.50% of inorganic phosphorus in the form of CaHPO4 2H2O, respec vely. Each diet contained the constant calcium content of about 1.0%. The results showed that daily weight gain, serum inorganic P, bia bone strength, bia ash percentage, bia bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD), middle toe ash percentage, middle toe BMC and BMD were affected (P ) by dietary NPP level, and increased linearly (P ) and quadra cly (P 0.004) as dietary NPP levels increased. The gene expression of type IIb sodium phosphate cotransporter (NaPi IIb) in the duodenum was affected (P 0.03) and decreased linearly (P 0.002) as dietary NPP levels increased. Dietary NPP requirements es mated based on fi ed broken line models (P ) of the sensi ve indices including daily weight gain, bia bone strength, bia ash percentage, bia BMC and BMD as well as middle toe ash percentage were %. The results from this study indicate that bia BMC and BMD might be new, sensi ve, and noninvasive criteria to evaluate the dietary NPP requirements of broilers, and the dietary NPP requirement is 0.39% for broiler chicks fed a conven onal corn soybean meal diet from 1 to 21 d of age. Aureli, R. and co workers Use of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy to predict phytate phosphorus, total phosphorus, and crude protein of common poultry feed ingredients. Poultry Sci. 96 (1): Effects of Irradia on on Soybean Meal Performance (January 2017) A 5 week feeding trial was conducted to examine the effect of γ ray irradia on on the inclusion of soybean meal (SBM) and soy protein concentrate (SPC) in diets of juvenile golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus). One diet containing 320 g kg 1 fish meal served as a reference (C), and another four diets were formulated with 75% of the fish meal replaced by SBM, SPC, SBM irradiated with γ ray at 30 kgy (SBM30) or SPC irradiated with γ ray at 30 kgy (SPC30). Results indicated that the weight gain was higher in fish fed diets SBM30 and SPC30 compared to the fish fed diets SBM and SPC. No significant differences were found in feed conversion ra o, nitrogen reten on efficiency, phosphorus reten on efficiency, condi on factor, hepatosoma c index, body composi on, waste outputs of nitrogen and phosphorus either between fish fed diets SBM and SBM30 or between fish fed diets SPC and SPC30. No significant differences were found in nitrogen reten on, condi on factor, hepatosoma c index and body composi on (i.e. moisture, crude protein, crude lipid and ash) between fish fed the control diets and those fed the irradiated protein sources. The macromolecular proteins in SBM and SPC were degraded, whereas the contents of pep des with molecular weight 6.5 kda were increased by γ ray irradia on. This study reveals that γ ray irradia on can improve the performance of SBM and SPC as a fish meal subs tute in the golden pompano diet.

4 Panel Report on the Safety of a Gene c Modified Soybean Variety (January 2017) The Panel on Gene cally Modified Organisms of the European Food Safety Authority (GMO Panel) previously assessed the two single events combined to produce soybean did not iden fy safety concerns. No new data on the single events affec ng the original conclusions were iden fied. Based on the molecular, agronomic, phenotypic and composi onal characteris cs, the combina on of soybean events and in the two event stack soybean did not raise concerns regarding food and feed safety or nutri on. The combina on of the newly expressed proteins in the two event stack soybean did not raise human or animal health concerns. No composi onal differences requiring further assessment were iden fied between soybean , the non GM comparator, addi onal comparators and the non GM commercial soybean reference varie es, except for the altered fa y acid profile (consistent with the intended trait). Nutri onal assessment of food products from soybean iden fied no concerns for human health and nutri on. There are no concerns regarding the use of feed ingredients derived from defa ed toasted soybean meal. There are no indica ons of an increased likelihood of establishment and spread of occasional feral soybean plants, unless these are exposed to acetolactate synthase inhibi ng or glyphosate containing herbicides. Risks associated with the unlikely, but theore cally possible, horizontal transfer of recombinant genes from soybean to bacteria were not iden fied. Considering the scope of the applica on, interac ons with bio c and abio c environments are not considered a relevant issue. The post market environmental monitoring plan and repor ng intervals are in line with the intended uses of soybean The GMO Panel is of the opinion that soybean is as safe as the non GM comparator and non GM commercial soybean varie es with respect to poten al effects on human and animal health and environment in the context of its scope.

The authors reported that glycerin or glycerol (C3H5(OH)3) is one of the most valuable and versa le chemical materials known. The term glycerin refers in general to a commercial solu on of glycerol in water of which the main cons tuent is glycerol. Glycerin is an odorless, colorless, viscous liquid with a sweet taste. It is completely soluble in both alcohol and water. Glycerin is the main co product derived from biodiesel produc on. It is produced by a KOH or NaOH catalysed transesterifica on of the triacylglycerols in fat or oil along with an alcohol. Glycerin is an important ingredient for the produc on of soaps, cosme cs, pharmaceu cals and food. Addi onally, glycerin is highly stable under normal storage condi ons, prac cally non irrita ng in its different uses, suitable for interac ons with other chemical materials and has no nega ve environmental impacts. Nowadays, with increasing glycerin produc on and its availability on the market, many new and novel uses are expected to be developed, par cularly as alterna ve energy source for poultry diets. Furthermore, glycerin plays an essen al role in body cellular metabolism. The reviewers discussed various trials using glycerin in poultry diets as an energy source and its effects on different parameters in the birds. In general posi ve responses were reported in most studies when glycerin was included in poultry diets up to ten percent. ARIF, M. and co workers, The beneficial uses of glycerin as an alterna ve energy source in poultry diets, World s Poultry Sci.1 9. doi: /S Soybean Checkoff Research Projects (January 2017) U.S. soybean farmers through their soybean checkoff are providing funding for research to improve the u liza on of soybean meal. Some of the projects underway are:
