Use 16% protein wean to beef from gain feeds here. Animals need protein for growth at that age and energy later on to fatten.

I usually have a highish energy crunch approx 14% P and add 0.2kg soyameal per kg. Works mighty for me anyway. They are growing like weeds with it.

Fed silage soya and small amount of beet during the winter to freisan weanlings. It grew them a serious amount, auld fella reckoned the soya was dear but with regard to how much they grew it was since considered value for money.

Can soyameal be bought in 25kg bags or is it just a straight that needs to be bought in bulk?
