Abstract

The crude protein content of 10 fish meals was 31.4 to 55.9, mean 38.3% DM and was inversely correlated with ash content. Pepsin digestibility was 52 to 71, mean 62%, available lysine 1.42 to 2.37, 1.72 g/16 g N and protein efficiency ratio (PER) with chicken 2.14 to 2.54, 2.36. Corresponding values for 10 samples of groundnut cake were 26 to 81, 66, 0.86 to 1.22, 1.05 and 1.41 to 2.07, 1.87 with protein 26.3 to 44.4, 32.9, inversely correlated with fibre. Values for pepsin digestibility, available lysine and growth of Tetrahymena pyriformis were not correlated with growth of chicken and PER
