Feeding Trial Results for Broiler Performance Improvement

This document is a research summary detailing a 42-day feeding trial conducted with Perdue Farms to evaluate the performance of broilers fed with Benson Hill Ultra-High Protein, Low Oligosaccharide (UHP-LO) soybean meal compared to conventional soybean meal. The trial involved 2,760 Ross 708 broiler males and utilized four different dietary treatments to assess the impact of UHP-LO SBM on feed conversion ratios, broiler weights, and overall production costs. The findings indicated that the incorporation of UHP-LO SBM resulted in improved feed costs and enhanced broiler weights, leading to significant economic benefits for poultry producers. The study also explored the nutritional specifications of UHP-LO SBM and its potential to reduce foot pad dermatitis in broilers. The results suggest that using UHP-LO SBM can provide a cost-effective alternative for broiler feed formulation, thereby improving production efficiency in the poultry industry.
