Due to the high fat content, the amount of soybeans in the diet needs to be limited to keep the total fat content in the ration to less than 5%. Higher levels of fat can decrease fibre digestion in the rumen. In dairy diets, raw soybeans should be limited to about 4 lbs/day. Roasting soybeans increases the bypass value of the protein and decreases anti-nutritional factors. Roasted soybeans can be fed to dairy cows at a higher rate up to 6 lbs/day.
