Abstract:Two experiments involving 130 rats were conducted to evaluate the nutritive value of three microbial proteins for rats. In one of the experiments, diets containing 0, 20 and 30% microbial protein were offered for 21 days. Inclusion of up to 20% microbial protein did not significantly affect liveweight gain but a comparatively poor feed conversion efficiency was manifested at levels above 10% inclusion of the protein concentrate in the diet. In a second experiment, the microbial protein was incorporated at a le… Show more
