Abstract: This experiment was conducted to examine the impact of different soya bean processing methods and the effect of processed soya bean on gut development of broiler chickens. For this purpose, a 56-day research was conducted on 400 ROSS 308 broiler chickens which are raised under good intensive system of management in Federal Polytechnic Bali teaching and research farm. In achieving this, birds were assigned to five (5) treatment and sample size of six (6) per pen was used with eight replications. Gut measurement, and carcass analysis was done on the trial day (56). Data were analyzed using ANOVA in SPSS and Likert scaling techniques. Confidence and significance at 95% and P <0.05 respectively was used. The research findings showed that no significant difference p>0.05 was observed in all the parameters tested. Although, there is a significant increase of 1.89cm and 2.1cm in ileum length, 2.92cm and 2.97cm Duodenum width and 87.57cm and 71.00 small intestine in treatment D and E. This suggests an increased surface area for greater absorption of nutrients in treatment D and E. The best mean score observed in Performance, carcass characteristic , organ characteristic , and economics were on treatment A, D and E with a mean score of 2.6, 2.8 and 2.3 respectively. It is therefore recommended that further research need to be conducted on difference processing time of each method.
