“…Normal growth was permitted when the same diet was supplemented with additional amino acids (3). Similar effects have also been reported for microorganisms (S), insects (20), and dogs (8). There was no information available, however, on the effects of amino acid 'imbalance' on growth of phytophagous insects.…”

“…Growth patterns obtained from supplementation of cereal proteins with combinations of amino acids calculated from microbiological amino acid analyses in unpublished work at this laboratory show that such analyses as a basis for calculating amino acid deficiencies in various food proteins are not completely reliable. Gessert and Phillips (4) showed that a lysine supplement to a low protein ration containing skim milk and cereal grains retarded growth in young dogs. In the range of protein levels of 10 to 15%, the amino acid balance is very critical.…”

“…Using rats, Sauberlich (1956) found that certain amino acids as supplements to casein caused a marked reduction in growth, but that this could be prevented by adding threonine. Gessert & Phillips (1956) induced growth depression in dogs on lowprotein diets by single additions of either lysine or methionine, but these two in combination resulted in neutrality and in one case in improved growth. With rats on a rice diet, Desphande, Harper, Quiros-Peres & Elvehjem (1955) observed a growth increase following the addition of 0-2 % lysine plus 0-24 or 0-5% threonine; but with 0-4% lysine and 0-5% threonine a retardation occurred, but this could be overcome by simultaneous addition of leucine, isoleucine, valine and histidine.…”

Protein value and amino-acid balance of condensed herring solubles and spontaneously heated herring meal. Chick experiments

It seems generally accepted that the proteins in condensed fish solubles are less useful to the chick and pig than the proteins of fish meal. Using herring products, the inferiority of the solubles has been demonstrated at this Institute by a feeding test in which chicks gained only about half as much on solubles as they did on herring meal; the test products contributing 6-3 % of protein in a 13-5 % total protein diet of natural feedingstuffs (Anonymous, 1951). From a chick test with 3 % herring protein, 11 % total protein level and a standard natural diet, Carpenter (1954) reports a gross protein value of 95 for herring meal and 65 for condensed herring solubles.The amino-acid analyses that the U.S. National Research Council (1954) quotes for fish solubles and meal, respectively, are in agreement with such biological tests. The figures listed for solubles protein show only about 50 % of lysine and of 'methionine plus cystine', and about 60 % of tryptophan and arginine, of the corresponding figures for meal protein. Microbiological assays of herring products at this Institute essentially confirm the ratio between meal and solubles for lysine and arginine, but for tryptophan and 'methionine plus cystine' the solubles have been found to be even more inferior.
