Eight protein supplements were analysed for their crude protein, lysine and available lysine contents. The crude protein of the samples varied between 26.95 to 62.55 percent. On an average, groundnut extractions contained 1.22 and 1.06 percent total and available lysine, respectively. However, as per cent of crude protein, the corresponding values were 3.69 and 3.20 percent. Inactivated yeast contained the maximum lysine followed by soybean flakes, mustard cake and groundnut extractions but the available lysine content in the groundnut extraction was more than the mustard cake. Total and available lysine content of sunflower meal was minimum when expressed as per cent of meal. Per cent available lysine as per cent of total lysine of meal was in the order of yeast, groundnut extraction, sunflower, soybean flakes and mustard cake.
