Can ASFv be inactivated during soybean extraction?

Feed ingredients, such as soybean meal, have been identified as potential transmission routes for swine viruses like African Swine Fever virus (ASFv). Soybean processing methods, such as solvent extraction, may inactivate ASFv to a certain degree – but is that sufficient? The answer appears to be ‘no’. Given that ASFv is too hazardous to test in field settings, scientists at the University of Minnesota, supported by a researcher from feed company Crown Iron Works, used Emiliania huxleyi
