The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of total replacement of raw whole soybean (RAW) for roastedwhole soybean (ROS) on the production performance of Holstein cows. Two experiments were carried out usinga simple reversal design where RAW has been completely replaced by ROS. In experiment 1, 22 cows (175±60 days in milk)were used, and the dietary inclusion level of RAW or ROS was 3.7% of dry matter (DM). In experiment 2, 16 cows (130±50 days in milk)were used, and thedietary inclusion level of RAW or ROS was 11% of DM. In both experiments, ROS increased milk production by 1.1kgday-1 without changing fat and protein production. Dry matter intake or milk urea nitrogenwere not affected by dietary soy source. In experiment 2, plasma glucose concentration was decreased, and allantoin/creatinine ratio in urine tended to decreasein ROS. Experiment 2 also evaluated the nutrient digestibility and ruminal degradation kinetics of crude protein in two soybean sources. Roasting had no effect on the digestibility of DM, organic matter, and neutral detergent fiber. Roasted whole soybean hadgreater fraction B and lower protein degradation rate than did RAW; this showed that heat treatment was effective in increasing therumen undegradable amino acid flowto the animal, which suggesteda potential mechanism of action for improved performance observed in ROS. RESUMO: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da substituição total de soja integral crua (SC) por soja integral tostada (ST) sobre o desempenho produtivo de vacas Holandês. Foram realizados dois experimentos com delineamento experimental de reversão simples nos quais a SC foi totalmente substituída por ST. No experimento 1, foram utilizadas 22 vacas (175±60DEL) e o nível de inclusão dietética de SC ou ST foi de 3,7% na matéria seca (MS). No experimento 2, foram utilizadas 16 vacas (130±50 DEL) e o nível de inclusão dietético de SC ou ST foi de 11% na MS. Em ambos os experimentos, ST aumentou a produção de leite em 1,1kgd-1, sem alterar as produções de gordura e proteína. O consumo de MS e nitrogênio uréico no leite não foram afetados pela fonte de soja dietética. No experimento 2, a concentração de glicose plasmática foi reduzida e a relação alantoína/creatinina na urina tendeu a ser reduzida por ST. O experimento 2 também avaliou digestibilidade de nutrientes e cinética de degradação ruminal da proteína bruta das duas fontes de soja. Não houve efeito da tostagem nas digestibilidades da MS, matéria orgân
