Abstract

Soybean meal is a major protein source in animal feed, its production is associated with concerns about environmental issues, economic volatility, and ethical implications. This study examined alternative protein sources to replace or reduce soybean meal in animal diets while maintaining or improving animal performance and general feed efficiency. The study aimed to point out and identify suitable substitutes of soybean for animal feed from local feed resources, both ruminants and non-ruminants. Velvet bean (Mucuna pruriens), jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis), pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), and hyacinth bean (Lablab purpureus) were identified as potential soybean substitutes in animal feed in tropics. These legumes possessed comparable protein content, amino acid profiles, and other essential nutrients making them viable alternatives. Velvet beans excel in tropical climates and have high protein content, but careful processing is needed due to anti-nutritional factors. Jack bean is another protein powerhouse with potential for livestock feed, though its toxicity requires proper handling. Pigeon pea is a versatile legume with good protein quality and adaptability to various conditions. Hyacinth bean, while less commonly studied, shows promise as a forage and protein source.
