Abstract

The nutritive value of infant foods (prepared from buffalo milk) containing 10%, 12.5% and 15% protein and fortified with DL-methionine has been studied in expt. with albino rats. The mean weekly growth rate of rats receiving milk food II (10% protein and 20% fat) and fortified with DL-methionine was of the same order as those obtained with milk foods containing 12.5%, 15%, 22% and 26% protein. Milk food II containing 10% protein (not fortified with DL-methionine) promoted significantly less growth than the same food fortified with DL-methionine and other milk food containing 12.5% to 28% protein. The protein efficiency ratio of the milk food fortified with DL-methionine (4.0) was significantly higher than that (3.3) of the unfortified milk food at 10% level of protein in the diet.
