A minimum amount of dietary soybean meal (SBM) is needed for maximum growth, feed efficiency (FCE) and lean deposition, but relative balance is important for SBM, as for other ingredients. The question of whether too much SBM can be used in swine diets is important.

The proper balance of SBM that is needed to maximize growth and not impair growth has 3 parts:

1. Can dietary SBM level be too low for maximum growth in the commercial environment?
2. Can SBM level be too high for maximum growth?
3. Can SBM level be high enough to reduce carcass yield?
