    The same soybeans that are fed to livestock are the same soybeans that are pressed for oil. somewhere around 85% of all soybeans in the world are pressed for oil. The by-product of that process is called soy meal or soy cake. that makes up the vast majority of the soy that is fed to animals. only about 7% of soybeans are actually fed directly to animals.

      Okay you got me there! Soy was an awful example.

      Oats though 95% are for animal feed though and corn is similar.
