Quail Haven (Glycine soja), a reseeding, vining soybean, has potential for use as a planted foodstuff for wildlife in the southeastern U.S., especially upland gamebirds such as the bobwhite. The objective of this study was to determine the suitability of Quail Haven as a food for bobwhite. Quail Haven soybeans were ground and, without heating, substituted for commercial soybean meal at various levels in the diet of bobwhite chicks from 1 to 35 days of age. Feeding increasing levels of Quail Haven reduced growth but did not affect mortality of bobwhite chicks. Feeding the unheated Quail Haven increased chick pancreas weight, indicating the presence of trypsin (proteinase) inhibitors.
