United Soybean Board launches U.S. Soy CAN website to support livestock nutrition and health
New website shares the latest soy research insights and practical applications for poultry and livestock industries.
Today, new soybean research and commercial learnings are available that evolve soy use as a feed ingredient in poultry, swine, dairy and beef diets. To share these important insights, the United Soybean Board is launching a new website called U.S. Soy Center for Animal Nutrition and Health (U.S. Soy CAN) to provide the latest research and information to livestock industries.“
Given that poultry and livestock represent the largest consumers of soybean meal, U.S. Soy CAN provides the industry with a much-needed central resource to share information as it becomes available,” said Todd Hanten, USB farmer-leader from South Dakota who oversees the health & nutrition portfolio, and also raises cattle and grows soybeans, corn, wheat and hay. “As a livestock farmer, it’s critical that we have the latest feed ingredient research at our fingertips to inform animal nutrition decisions.”U.S. Soy CAN aims to serve the animal-ag industry as a technical resource for nutritionists, veterinarians and animal scientists while also providing producers with practical decision-making tools that can help them optimize the value of U.S. soy in animal diets.U.S. Soy CAN features a general home page along with species-specific pages for the poultry, swine and dairy industries.
About the Website
Each page features the latest research results, diet formulation recommendations, decision-making tools, articles, interviews, podcasts, webinars, presentations and much more. These pages also share upcoming industry meetings and events.Initially, U.S. Soy CAN will focus on soy-related animal nutrition and health benefits, but will expand to include other sustainable soy applications as research is completed, and the evidence grows. Academia and industry leaders are encouraged to add content, both research outcomes and commercial learnings, to help share the growing value of U.S. Soy with animal agriculture audiences.
“It is our hope that poultry and livestock producers, nutritionists and veterinarians utilize this site as their go-to resource for soy-related information,” said Dr. Nathan Augspurger, senior director, Animal Nutrition and Health at the United Soybean Board. “U.S. Soy CAN is a resource for better understanding, not just the nutritional benefits of soy, but also the value-adding health benefits that impact the immune system’s ability to respond to health and environmental challenges.”Check out the new website and to stay up to date on the newest research outcomes and news by signing up for the U.S. Soy CAN general newsletter and/or species-specific (poultry, swine, dairy) newsletters.
