Protein quality of linseed for growing broiler chicks

The protein quality of linseed was assessed and compared to that of soybean meal (SBM) in two experiments using growing broiler chicks. In the first experiment, the protein efficiency ratio (PER) and net protein ratio (NPR) were calculated for diets (90 g crude protein kg −1) containing the followin...

Description
Summary:The protein quality of linseed was assessed and compared to that of soybean meal (SBM) in two experiments using growing broiler chicks. In the first experiment, the protein efficiency ratio (PER) and net protein ratio (NPR) were calculated for diets (90 g crude protein kg −1) containing the following sources of protein: SBM and SBM diet modified to contain 10, 30 and 100% of the total protein from linseed. There was a significant ( P
