[QUOTE="ford4000, post: 6760972, member: 1182"] Are we too worried about soya levels ? I know it's being pushed, and is the latest "must have" ingredient, but Liz Genever did a trial feeding different protein sources to pregnant and milking ewes, and found soya performed no better than the others, in fact there was no difference between any of them! Ewe condition, lamb weights or growth. The ewes stomach gets smaller the more heavily pregnant she becomes, and works faster meaning that protein doesn't stay there as long, and because of that, more of it becomes "by-pass" protein .
