Brief Project Summary:

The goal of this research is to develop a model for evaluating nutritionally important attributes of soybean meal and rapid NIR prediction of these attributes. The objectives of this proposed research is to identify soybean cultivars that have higher energy and amino acid digestibility, to develop a model sensitive enough to determine level of improvement in soybeans selected for nutritional attributes, and to develop NIR calibrations for assessing nutritional value of soybeans (meal).

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
