Have you ever considered how much more profitability and independence your farm could gain by producing its own soybean oil and meal? With the right technology, this is not only possible—it’s a smart strategy for small, medium, and large-scale producers who seek greater efficiency, sustainability, and control in their operations.
In this article, we’ll explain how the on-farm extraction and processing of soybeans works, and how ZAAMP’s extruder technology can transform the way you manage your rural property.
Why Produce Soybean Oil and Meal on the Farm?
Soybean meal is one of the key ingredients in animal nutrition—whether for cattle, pigs, poultry, or fish. Meanwhile, soybean oil has multiple applications, from human consumption to biodiesel production and even as an energy supplement for livestock.
By producing these items directly on the farm, you eliminate intermediaries, reduce transportation and storage costs, and gain full control over the nutritional quality of your feed. It’s a more economic, autonomous, and sustainable operation.
And the best part? It’s all made possible with robust, user-friendly, Brazilian-made technology.
How Does the Process Work?
The soybean extrusion process is simple and efficient, and it can be fully performed on the farm using ZAAMP extruders. The process is divided into three main stages that transform soybeans into two highly valuable products: premium oil and high-quality meal.
- Grain Pre-Cleaning
One of ZAAMP’s competitive advantages is the ability to process even damaged grains with moderate levels of impurities. This means less waste and better use of what’s already stored on your property. Grains that would otherwise be discarded or sold at a low price can now be turned into high-value animal feed—or a new income stream through oil sales.
- Soybean Extrusion
This is the heart of the process. ZAAMP extruders use a patented extrusion system that requires no chemical additives. The soybeans are “extruded,” which neutralizes natural toxins and breaks down the grain’s structure. This releases the oil and turns the meal into a highly digestible feed, rich in protein and essential amino acids—critical for improving animal performance.
- Oil Separation
During the initial extrusion, mechanical pressing begins to separate the oil from the meal. The result is a clean, high-quality oil, ready for on-farm use or sale, and a protein-rich meal suitable for feed formulation or direct animal nutrition.
This process maximizes the use of raw materials, reduces logistical costs, and gives producers complete control over the quality of their feed ingredients.
Benefits of ZAAMP Extruded Soybean Meal
- High Digestibility – Extrusion improves nutrient availability and absorption in the digestive tract.
- Reduced Antinutrients – Heat treatment eliminates substances that hinder digestion.
- Better Herd Performance – Well-nourished animals grow faster and healthier.
- Direct Cost Savings – Less need to purchase third-party feed.
- Feed Safety and Quality – You control what goes into your herd’s diet.
