The Feedstuffs series of ten papers provides new information that solidifies the unique value of soybean meal (SBM) for swine nutrition and health. The series is the result of a three-year study by a United Soybean Board (USB) committee of industry scientists. This capstone paper distills the most consequential findings that emerged from their study of private sector research that was made available to them by The Hanor Company. These studies had few, if any, comparable counterparts in the public domain.

A unifying hypothesis emerged from these studies: SBM provides an abundance of functional compounds that confer value beyond amino acids and energy. These may serve a complementary function to enable efficient nutrient use for growth in commercial settings (papers 2, 3, 4, 10).
