• Soya hulls are available all year round, UK wide, as bulk tipped or blown loads. They tend to be particularly
good value in the summer months when sugar beet feed can be scarce.

• Like all dry feeds, they should be stored in a secure shed, bunker, bin or hopper and kept cool, dry and free from vermin.

• Whilst often containing a proportion of pellets, Soya hulls will generally be available as a mixture of meal and pellets.

The initial co-product from the crushing and oil extraction of Soya beans, Soya hulls are the outer coating of the beans which is removed prior to milling, oil expelling and subsequent extraction. Soya hulls are either sold as a meal or pelleted to facilitate handling.
