Abstract
A high bypass protein product as prepared from soybeans. The soybeans are comminuted sufficiently to crack open their hulls. The comminuted soybeans are then heated at elevated temperatures in the range of about 235-350.degree. F., and maintained at these elevated temperatures for about 1-60 minutes. Oil is then partially removed from the soybeans to leave a cake which is then processed as feed for livestock. The resulting feed has a protein bypass value in the range of 55-65%, and quantities of essential amino acids lysine and methionine are bypassed at the rate of at least 8.0 grams per pound of feed ingested by the livestock.
