Soybean products are excellent sources of protein and energy for beef cattle. Approximately 7.0% of the SBM utilized in the United States is fed to beef catde. This is a much smaller portion than the quantities utilized by swine and poultry (Fig. 18.1). The purpose of this section is to describe the reason for this relationship and how recent research may increase the use of SBM in beef cattle diets in the future. With over 40 million growing and finishing beef cattle produced in the United States each year, this is a huge potential market for soybean products. To understand why only 7% of the SBM consumed by livestock and poultry is fed to beef catde, one has to begin with a discussion of the digestive physiology of ruminants.

Small Intestine. The small intestine is the primary site of both digestion and absorption. In normal individuals, 90 to 95% of all absorption occurs in the first half of the small intestine. The structure, both visible and microscopic, contributes to the absorptive capacity of the small intestine, and to the mechanical processes of digestive physiology.
