Abstract

The green alga Scenedesmus acutus was drumdried, sundried or sundried and cooked for 20 min at 100 deg C and given as protein source in diets containing protein 10 and, in the case of sundried, 20%, for 10 days. Biological value was for 10% drumdried algal protein 80.8, 20% drumdried 67.1, sundried 72.1 and cooked sundried 71.9%; digestibility was, respectively, 81.4, 77.4, 72.5 and 77.1% and net protein utilization 65.8, 52.0, 52.0 and 55.5%.
