Soybean Breeding Aims To Prevent Soft Pork For Packers
At a Washington DC convention of the American Soybean Growers association, Russell of the U S Department of Agriculture outlined two soybean strains. One for stock feeding and the other for milling, to curb soft pork blamed on high fat in feed. He noted oil content varies 12 to 24 percent and that feeding fat over six percent promotes soft pork. He urged breeding to lower oil while preserving protein and palatability, and proposed experimental work to benefit hog producers and farmers’ profits.
