The objective of the present work was to design, manufacture and evaluate a semi-industrial equipment for the processing of integral soy of small and medium producers, in broilers. The biological test was carried out in the Mario González Aranda Agricultural Laboratory of the National University of Colombia - Palmira Headquarters, 120 chickens (Ross 308AP) were used for a period of 40 days. In both phase I and phase II, the chickens were fed a commercial balanced diet (T1) and a balanced diet with processed whole soy (T2). The experimental model is a completely randomized block design, with analysis of variance by repeated measures; The average values were compared with the Duncan test. The results show that the treatment with soy cake had better weight gain, conversion rate and food consumption, comparing the treatment with whole soy. Although their growth was moderately lower than the control diet (soy cake), the results of the productive performance of broilers fed a diet containing whole soy processed by a semi-industrial method, were good and were within of the standards established for a production phase of 40 days. This research study studied the nutritional advantages offered by integral soy and the possibility of finding simple mechanisms for processing and quality control, which benefit its use in balanced foods.
