Digestibility in cattle simply means if a feedstuff is able to be broken down enough for the microbes in the rumen to gain access to nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, volatile fatty acids, vitamins and minerals that they--as well as the cow--can use to live and reproduce.

Can you bale soy beans for cattle feed?

Yes, soybeans can be baled for cattle feed, but it's more common to process them into meal or pellets for easier consumption and improved nutritional value. Whole soybeans can be included in cattle diets, but they should be processed to reduce anti-nutritional factors and improve digestibility. Baling soybeans as forage isn't typical due to their low fibrous content compared to traditional forage crops. It's essential to ensure that the feed is properly balanced to meet the nutritional needs of the cattle.
