The 12- week trial lasted. Data on weekly body weights and feed conversion ratio were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's honestly significant at 5 probability test. The result shows there are significant differences in weekly weights of Japanese quail at weeks 1 (828.12-1083.24g), 2 (1026.47- 1362.02g), and 3 (1325.69-1528.20g) with the highest observed in birds in treatment 2 (boiled soya beans). The maximum FCR was in week 1 for all treatments, while the lowest was in treatment 3 for weeks 5 and 9 (0.83; P<0.05). Week 1 to week 12 feed conversion ratio decreases. The birds' feed conversion ratios varied significantly (P<0.05). The quails in treatment 4 (roasted soybeans) had the greatest weekly weight after the trial (1742.34g). Thus, quails in treatment 3 (roasted soybean) had the best development performance than the control, boiled and fermented. So it is advised that roasted soybean can be an efficient diet for Japanese quails for maximum performance. © (2023), (Scienceline Publication).
