This study was conducted to study the effect of feeding Soybean on growth performance in growing pigs. Five types of Concentrate mixture were formulated for the study. First group (T1) having 5% fish meal served as control, whereas 50% fish meal of T2 and T3 was replaced by toasted and raw soybean, respectively. Similarly fish meal of T4 and T5 was completely replaced by toasted and raw soybean, respectively. Sixty crossbreed piglets were randomly divided and allotted to 5 treatment groups mentioned as above. The performance of piglets was recorded from 13^th week to 25thweek. Almost similar body weight were selected in all the experimental group during the study period of weaned piglets from 5 farm women having the same age and same weight for the said period. The performance of piglets in their body weight changes in piglets fed varying level of soybean (raw and toasted) in place of fish meal viz. initial body weight for the groups T1,T2,T3,T4 and T5 were recorded as 15.03,14.85,14.66,14.74 and 14.04 respectively and final body weights after 25^th week were  recorded as 43.83,44.08. 42.87, 44.75, and 37.10 kg respectively. The significant differences were found in different groups at final body weight gain.
