(a)
					 Ground Soybean is ground whole soybeans without cooking or removing any of the
					 oil.
(b) Ground Soybean Hay is the
					 ground soybean plant including the leaves and beans. It must be reasonably free
					 of other crop plants and weeds and shall contain not more than 33.0 percent
					 crude fiber.
(c) Soybean Hulls
					 consist of the outer covering of the soybean. When used in a mixture, the
					 maximum percentage shall be stated.
(d) Soybean Feed, Solvent Extracted, is the
					 product remaining after the partial removal of protein and nitrogen free
					 extract from dehulled solvent extracted soybean flakes. When used in a mixture,
					 the maximum percentage shall be stated.
(e) Soy Flour is the finely powered material
					 resulting from the screened and graded product remaining after removal of most
					 of the oil from selected, sound, cleaned and dehulled soybeans by a mechanical
					 or solvent extraction process. It shall contain not more than 4.0 percent crude
					 fiber.
(f) Soybean Meal,
					 Mechanically Extracted, is the product obtained by grinding the cake or chips
					 which remain after removal of most of the oil from soybeans by a mechanical
					 extraction process. Heat must be applied during the process. It shall contain
					 not more than 7.0 percent crude fiber. It may contain calcium carbonate or an
					 anti-caking agent not to exceed 0.5 percent to reduce caking and improve
					 flowability. The name of the conditioning agent shall be shown as an added
					 ingredient.
(g) Soybean Meal,
					 Solvent Extracted, is the product obtained by grinding the flakes which remain
					 after removal of most of the oil from soybeans by a solvent extraction process.
					 It shall contain not more than 7.0 percent crude fiber. It may contain calcium
					 carbonate or an anti-caking agent not to exceed 0.5 percent to reduce caking
					 and improve flowability.
(h)
					 Soybean Meal, Dehulled, Solvent Extracted, is obtained by grinding the flakes
					 remaining after removal of most of the oil from dehulled soybeans by a solvent
					 extraction process. It shall contain not more than 3.5 percent crude fiber. It
					 may contain calcium carbonate or an anti-caking agent not to exceed 0.5 percent
					 to reduce caking and improve flowability. The name of the conditioning agent
					 must be shown as an added ingredient. When listed as an ingredient in a
					 manufactured feed it may be identified as "Dehulled Soybean Meal."
(i) Soybean Mill Feed is composed of soybean
					 hulls and the offal from the tail of the mill which results from the
					 manufacture of soy grits or flour and contains not less than 13.0 percent crude
					 protein and not more than 32.0 percent crude fiber. When used in a mixture, the
					 maximum percentage shall be stated.
(j) Soybean Mill Run is composed of soybean
					 hulls and such bean meats that adhere to the hulls which results from normal
					 milling operations in the production of dehulled soybean meal and contains not
					 less than 11.0 percent crude protein and not more than 35.0 percent crude
					 fiber.
(k) Soy Phosphate or Soy
					 Lecithin is the mixed phosphatide product obtained from soybean oil by a
					 degumming process. It contains lecithin, cephalin, and inositol phosphatides,
					 together with glycerides of soybean oil and traces of tocopherols, glucosides,
					 and pigments. It shall be designated and sold according to conventional
					 descriptive grades with respect to consistency and bleaching.
(l) Heat Processed Soybeans is the product
					 resulting from heating whole soybeans without removing any of the component
					 parts. It may be ground, pelleted, flaked, or powdered. The maximum pH rise
					 using standard urease testing procedure should not exceed 0.10 pH units. It
					 shall be sold according to its crude protein, crude fat and crude fiber
					 content.
(m) Soy Protein
					 Concentrate is prepared from high quality sound, clean, dehulled soybean seeds
					 by removing most of the oil and water soluble non-protein constituents and
					 contains not less than 65.0 percent protein on a moisture-free basis.
(n) Kibbled Soybean Meal is the product
					 obtained by cooking ground solvent extracted soybean meal under pressure and
					 extruding from an expeller or other mechanical pressure device. It shall be
					 designated and sold according to its protein content and shall contain not more
					 than 7.0 percent crude fiber.
(o)
					 Condensed Soybean Solubles is the product resulting from the washing of Soy
					 Flour or Soybean Flakes with water and acid; water, alkali and acid; or water
					 and alcohol. The wash water is then concentrated to a solids content of not
					 less than 50.0 percent.
(p) Soy
					 Flour is the finely powdered material resulting from the screened and graded
					 product after removal of most of the oil rom the oil from selected, sound,
					 cleaned and dehulled soybeans by a mechanical or solvent extraction process. It
					 shall contain not more than 4.0 percent crude fiber.
