Animal Products – Soya-Based Feed Solutions
Soybean-based animal products play a vital role in modern animal nutrition. At Soya Food, we supply high-quality animal products made from carefully processed soybeans, supporting efficient and sustainable soya animal feed solutions in South Africa.
Soybean Round Unleavened Flat Cake (Biopro 60)
Soybean round unleavened flat cake (Biopro 60) is produced from healthy, peeled soybeans using a controlled hydrothermal treatment process, during which part of the oil is extracted. This processing method breaks down large polysaccharide molecules, making the product more digestible and easily absorbed by the animal digestive system.
The hydrothermal treatment improves nutritional and biological value while deactivating anti-nutritional factors without chemical reagents. Biopro 60 is a valuable source of soy protein, essential amino acids, soybean oil, lecithin, minerals, and fat-soluble vitamins. It is widely used as a protein and energy feed for young and growing animals.
EKOFISH MEAL – Herbal Replacement for Fish Meal
EKOFISH MEAL is a high-quality herbal alternative to traditional fish meal. It is produced from verified domestic feed ingredients, including thermally processed soybean products, herbal proteins, yeast, refined oils, minerals, and vitamins.
This animal product provides a protein-rich and easily digestible feed option while avoiding the negative components commonly associated with fish meal. EKOFISH MEAL supplies essential amino acids, soybean oil, lecithin, and fat-soluble vitamins, making it suitable for poultry, livestock, and aquaculture nutrition.
BP Energy – Emulsifiers for Animal Feed
BP Energy is an emulsifier produced through homogeneous blending of soybean proteins, stabilizers, and condensates. In addition to its high nutritional value, it offers excellent functional performance, making it an economical alternative to soy protein isolates and concentrates.
BP Energy is used in meat and feed processing at levels of 2–3% and supports stable emulsification. Its resistance to salt, pH changes, and thermal treatment allows seamless integration into existing production processes.
Yeast Protein Feed – Biokvas 45
Biokvas 45 is a yeast-based protein feed designed for all categories of domestic animals. It is formulated from soybean flour, soya protein isolate, enriched livestock yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), food grains, minerals, enzymes, vitamins, and antioxidants.
This balanced composition improves feed efficiency and supports animal health, making Biokvas 45 a reliable component of modern soya animal feed programs.
Animal Feed Industry in South Africa
The animal feed industry is a key part of the agricultural value chain in South Africa. Feed production relies heavily on crops such as maize, sugarcane, sorghum, wheat, and soybean residues. Each year, millions of tons of grain and oil cake derived from sunflower and soya beans are used in animal feed manufacturing.
South Africa’s feed industry produces approximately 8.6 million tons annually, with significant economic value and strong demand for soy-based animal products.
The South African animal feed industry comprises two disparate groups – the formal and informal feed sectors. The formal manufacturinga sector is represented by the Animal Feed Manufacturers Association (AFMA), and represents an estimated 60 percent of the country’s total feed production. The remaining 40 percent of the production is represented by the informal sector.
About 85 percent of the world’s soybeans are processed, or “crushed,” annually into soybean meal and oil. Approximately 98 percent of the soybean meal that is crushed is further processed into animal feed with the balance used to make soy flour and proteins. Of the oil fraction, 95 percent is consumed as edible oil; the rest is used for industrial products such as fatty acids, soaps and biodiesel.
Soy is one of the few plants that provides a complete protein as it contains all eight amino acids essential for human health.
