Abstract
Studies with rats given sorghum grain supplying 10% protein in diet showed that lysine and threonine were the first and second limiting amino acids. At the 8% level sorghum, wheat and maize diets gave similar values for net protein utilization (NPU), 29, 38 and 29%, respectively, but with soya bean oilmeal it was 74%. When rats got pig rations containing 74.4% of sorghum, wheat or maize, each supplemented with 22.4% soya bean meal, values for NPU were similar; at the 10% protein level with grain and soya supplements also values were similar
