Feed alternative to soybean protein in pigs and poultry nutrition

The best protein feed in monogastric animals nutrition is soybean meal. On the world market, soy is mainly available in genetically modified (GM) form. Researchers and practitioners are increasingly interested in the sources of feed alternative for GM soybeans. Poland has a real chance of becoming independent of the import of GMO products used in animal nutrition. Our domestic protein sources include rapeseed and sunflower meal, legume seeds (peas, lupins), fish and insect meal, yeast and alfalfa concentrate. The cultivation of legumes, including non–GM soybeans, sweet lupins, peas and field beans with low anti–nutritional factors should be increased and popularized. Effective methods should be developed and implemented for the treatment of rapeseed and sunflower meals by fermentation. The aim of this paper was to present the aspects arising from replacing soybeans meal with native sources of protein feeds
