Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is the most important crop in Argentina, while soybean meal (SBM) represents the main national exportation income. SBM is a relevant source of protein and amino acids (AA) for feed worldwide. Particularly, SBM´s Key AA (%) represents a relevant tool for feedstuffs international marketing, which is defined by the sum of Methionine, Cysteine, Tryptophan, Lysine and Threonine.
