Fastmarkets reported ruminant meat and bonemeal FOB Missouri River at 77.20% of CBOT soybean meal for the week to May 3, a 13-point drop from the five-year average. The relative value fell as soybean meal prices declined more than MBM rose over the year.
A falling ratio of ruminant MBM to soybean meal makes MBM relatively cheaper as a protein source, which can shift feed formulation toward it. The change reflects soybean meal weakness as much as MBM strength.
