Benson Hill (NASDAQ: BHIL) announced positive results from a controlled broiler feeding trial conducted with Tyson Foods, validating their Ultra-High Protein, Low-Oligosaccharide (UHP-LO) soybean meal as a cost-effective alternative to conventional soybean meal in poultry nutrition.
The trial, involving over 800 broilers, demonstrated that UHP-LO soybean meal can fully replace conventional soybean meal while lowering feed costs through increased protein and higher metabolizable energy. The product features 14% higher crude protein levels and 90% fewer oligosaccharides compared to conventional options. Broilers fed with UHP-LO showed equivalent final body weights, feed conversion ratios, and carcass traits.
The study revealed potential cost savings of up to $0.20 per bird, with performance gains of up to 5.4% reported in prior studies. The improved nutrient profile can also contribute to lower carbon emissions and support Scope 3 reduction targets for end users.
