It must contain not more than 3.5 percent crude fiber and not less than 46.5 percent crude protein. It may contain calcium carbonate or an anti-caking agent not to exceed 0.5 percent as defined in Special Purpose Products 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." The words "Mechanical Extracted" are not required when listing as an ingredient in a manufactured feed.(p) 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 must 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 as defined in Special Purpose Products) 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." The words "Solvent Extracted" are not required when listing as an ingredient in a manufactured feed.(q) Soybean Meal, Mechanical 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. It must contain not more than seven (7.0) percent crude fiber. It may contain calcium carbonate or an anti-caking agent not to exceed 0.5 percent as defined in Special Purpose Products to reduce caking and improve flowability. The name of the conditioning agent must be shown as an added ingredient. The words "Mechanical Extracted" are not required when listing as an ingredient in a manufactured feed.(r) 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 may contain calcium carbonate or an anti-caking agent not to exceed 0.5 percent as defined in Special Purpose Products to reduce caking and improve flowability. The name of the conditioning agent must be shown as an added ingredient. The words "Solvent Extracted" are not required when listing as an ingredient in a manufactured feed.(s) 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. It must contain not less than 13 percent crude protein and not more than 32 percent crude fiber.(t) Soybean Mill Run is composed of soybean hulls and such bean meats that adhere to the hulls which result from normal milling operations in the production of dehulled soybean meal. It must contain not less than 11 percent crude protein and not more than 35 percent crude fiber.(u) Soybean Solubles, Condensed, 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.
