ORGANIC SOYBEAN MANUFACTURERS NO FURTHER A MYSTERY

Soybean meal incorporates oligosaccharides which include raffinose and stachyose that can not be digested by monogastric animals, due to lack of a specific endogenous alpha-galactosidase. Raffinose and stachyose may cause flatulence and diarrhoea which could raise the digesta passage amount, and reduce digestion and absorption of dietary nutrients.
