Abstract
A novel proximate technique of determining soluble protein equivalents (spe) of Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) and Biological Value (BV) using Biuret method, is described. The protein quality of processed Bush mango (I. gabonensis) kernel (PBMK) in five feed formulations of Morinda lucida leaf-PBMK was studied. Young goats weighing 5.4 + 0.5 kg were fed for seven weeks with 25, 50, 75, and 100% PBMK substitutions in the feeds. Results showed that an optimum substitution of 50% promoted liver growth, overall body weight gain, and improved biological protein status of the animals employed.
