Abstract

By means of the paired feeding method, the possible indispensable amino acid deficiencies of peanutmeal, coprameal, linseedmeal and soyabeanmeal have been investigated. It has been found that peanutmeal is not deficient in cystine, tryptophane or lysine, but may be in the light of investigations which appeared after the work had been completed, deficient in methionine. Coprameal is not deficient in cystine, while linseedmeal and soyabeanmeal are definitely deficient in cystine.
