The present article was designed with the aim to see the impact of feeding soy enriched burfi on the internal body parts of the albino rats. In said context, Out of 200 albino rats, 20 albino rats of similar body weight and body conformation were selected at fifth day after birth and randomly divided into four groups of five each with an average body weight of 26.7± 3gm. The albino rats were fed ad libitum exclusively on the basal ration (maize 25% + Bajra 25% + Gram chunni 50%) in group G1. In rest of the groups, out of 50% gram chunni in basal ration, 25% was replaced with normal burfi in group G2, soy burfi containing 10 % soy flour in group G3 and soy burfi containing 20 % soy flour in group G4 for a period of 42 days. Results revealed that the within treatment groups, when the level of Soy in burfi increases the average gain in weight in albino rats decreased. The differences in the weight of internal organs between the groups were not significant. So, Soy burfi can be a good nutritious substitute of normal burfi.
