Beyond Bypass

Two dairy cows standing in field on a sunny day

Meeting the metabolizable needs of the high-producing cow is a ration-formulating challenge. There is a maximum limit on the amount of degradable protein that can be used by ruminal microbes to synthesize metabolizable protein for the cow.

Too much of the protein you feed your herd may be breaking down in the rumen, and you need to replace some degradable protein with some bypass protein. By limiting protein breakdown in the rumen and providing a desirable profile of amino acids in the bypass portion, you may be able to lower total crude protein in the ration and thereby reduce total feed costs. With SoyPlus®, bypass proteins deliver the amino acids cows need to achieve a higher performance, saving money and increasing the efficiency of your herd.

Introduced to the dairy industry as a high quality bypass protein in 1984, SoyPlus quickly became recognized as the gold standard of dairy nutrition because of its quality and consistency.

Supported by dozens of scientific studies and upheld by stringent production and quality control measures, SoyPlus has earned a reputation for providing consistent, quality results, a reputation it still holds today.

SoyPlus is manufactured using an all-natural, mechanical expeller process.

SoyPlus Nutrition Spec Sheet

SoyPlus Benefits

Universities have trusted SoyPlus in more than 180 published trials over more than 30 years to provide a desirable amino acid profile, high intestinal digestibility and reliable RUP values. With more than 400 different monitoring points, SoyPlus proteins consistently achieve maximum rumen bypass and 93% intestinal digestibility, lot after lot and year after year.

Features & Benefits Sheet Features & Benefits Sheet, Spanish

In the manufacturing of plant-based bypass proteins, the increases in the rumen bypass characteristics can sometimes result in decreased intestinal digestibility of the bypass portion. The SoyPlus manufacturing process is designed to optimize the relationship between ruminal bypass and intestinal digestibility.

Years of university research and third-party laboratory testing verify that both the ruminal bypass and intestinal digestibility of the proteins in SoyPlus have been maximized.

SoyPlus is higher in energy than solvent extracted products. SoyPlus contains essential fatty acids which can replace some of the supplemental fat sources that may be added separately to the ration. With a fat percentage of roughly 6%, SoyPlus provides higher energy content than solvent-extracted products providing average fat of 1-2%.

Even the small portion of protein that is ruminally degradable still makes valuable contributions to the metabolizable protein supply to the animal.

The rumen degradable protein in SoyPlus exists as quickly-metabolized soluble protein and more slowly degraded proteins to provide a steady supply of nitrogen necessary for microbial growth. SoyPlus contains a good mix of sugars, starches, and highly digestible soluble fiber. Together, the degradable protein and energy sources drive rumen microbial growth and enhance rumen microbial digestion of the entire ration.

SoyPlus® has a pleasant roasted aroma. The higher fat content contributes flavor and dust control resulting in high dry matter intake and more milk production.

Cows love it!

Unlike solvent extracted soybean meal, some of which is made with hexane, SoyPlus is made without added chemicals. It is entirely plant derived.

Our soybeans are cracked, heated, and squeezed. This removes much of the oil while increasing the RUP content and preserving the integrity of the raw ingredient.

Your decision on which protein products will best supply the metabolizable protein and essential amino acids your cows need while supplying energy and supporting microbial protein production should be based on a review of controlled research data. SoyPlus has been extensively researched at major universities throughout the USA. Using SoyPlus to balance degradable and undegradable protein ratios and supply limiting amino acids allows for lower total protein diets to reduce feed costs while maintaining or improving milk production and components.

Consistency in feed ingredients matters, and the rigorous testing applied to SoyPlus ensures that what we claim our product to be is what you actually get. SoyPlus is routinely subjected to not just one, but two protein analytical procedures. The RUP content is verified via ongoing in situ testing as well as being subjected to additional evaluation using the “Ross” in vitro method. The SoyPlus manufacturing process is ISO and HACCP certified.

Research & Trial Results

SoyPlus® positively benefits dairy farmers around the globe by offering a positive return on investment for milk production as a high quality protein source. As a dairy bypass feed ingredient, SoyPlus delivers a research-proven 60% bypass protein with an excellent profile of available amino acids, including lysine and methionine, key in milk production. Used in more than 180 published university trials, SoyPlus is the established industry constant.

What is Protein Bypass?

Bypass protein, or ruminally undegradable protein (RUP), is defined as that portion of dietary protein that escapes degradation by ruminal microorganisms. 

Bypass protein from feed, along with microbial protein synthesized in the rumen, is passed into the small intestine for digestion and absorption. Bypass protein helps support production that exceeds levels that can be supported by microbial protein alone.

The purpose of feeding bypass protein is to supply amino acids that may be absent or lowered in a cow's current diet. The addition of these amino acids can lead to increased milk production. Soybean-based bypass proteins are considered very high quality protein because of their amino acid profile.

Certifications

ISO 9001

The SoyPlus manufacturing process is ISO 9001 certified. ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized quality management standard. With its ISO 9001 certification, Landus has proven that it follows and meets the requirements of the standard.

HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points)

HACCP certification ensures that the process is evaluated for biological, chemical, and physical hazards. This evaluation includes procurement, raw material receiving, production, storage, and shipment of product. If there are areas in the process where biological, chemical, or physical hazards could enter or exist, actions are taken to reduce or eliminate these risks. This provides greater confidence that our feed is safe.

Quality & Consistency

Every batch of SoyPlus we produce follows the same production process which includes ingredient checks, process monitoring, in house production testing and external laboratory testing. The consistency in the SoyPlus production processes guarantees our customers a quality product every time. With more than 400 different monitoring points, SoyPlus proteins consistently achieve maximum rumen bypass and 93% intestinal digestibility.
