Many soybean herbicides do not allow grazing or feeding of the crop. Livestock will readily consume soybean forage if it is properly harvested and stored. Adjust your mineral program accordingly. A wet chemistry forage analysis should be conducted to measure nutrient content. Another alternative is to harvest the soybeans as green seed.
Green soybeans are acceptable sources of protein and energy.
Be sure moisture levels are low enough for safe storage. The beans may be shrivelled and hard, which may require processing prior to feeding. This information is for educational purposes only.
