Product Details
Soybean Meal 46% Protein (often called SBM 46%) is a widely used high-protein animal feed ingredient made from Soybean after oil extraction. It is especially common in poultry, cattle, dairy, pig, and fish feed because of its rich protein and amino acid content.
1. What “46%” Means
The 46% refers to the minimum crude protein content in the meal.
-
Protein: ~46–48%
-
Moisture: ~10–12%
-
Crude fiber: ~3–6%
-
Fat: ~1–2%
-
Ash: ~6–7%
This higher-protein grade is typically produced from dehulled soybeans, which increases protein concentration.

-
Cleaning: Raw soybeans are cleaned.
-
Crushing & dehulling: Outer hull removed.
-
