Protein Utilisation from Groundnut Meal Diets at Two Levels of Fat by Albino Rats

Abstract

Calories derived from the non-protein components of the diet exert a profound influence on protein utilisation. Morrison (1964)1 observed that in developing countries where there is protein calorie-malnutrition, the protein utilisation by the population might be limited by caloric intake rather than by the quality and amount of dietary proteins.
