Nutritive value of meat meals III. —value of meat meals as supplements to a cereal basal diet: Limiting amino acids in these diets

When fed to rats and pigs as supplements to a cereal‐based diet, meat meals were of significantly lower quality than fishmeal. The order of amino acid limitation in the meat meal‐plus‐cereal diet was first lysine and equal second methionine and threonine. Supplementation of meat meal with these three amino acids gave performance approximately equal to that obtained with fishmeal. Results obtained with the two species were very similar.
