Full-fat soybean meal is an excellent source of energy and protein with special value in diets for poultry when high nutrient concentration is required. This is the case for all turkey diets, most broiler diets, and feeds for laying hens early in the production cycle, as raw bean contain antinutrients. 

Adequate attention for well being of animals is required in future intensive animal production systems. Feed supply and diet composition have a major influence on satiety in animals that need to be (drastically) restricted in nutrient intake for reasons of health, product quality and costs of production, e.g. broiler breeders and pregnant sows. Insight in feed intake regulation and the role of diet composition is also required to stimulate or restrict feed intake for optimal production performance.
