Extract: Comparisons were made among isonitrogenous (1.6 percent) diets containing isolated soybean protein (ISP), soybean flakes, soybean nuts, tofu and bovine nonfat dry milk (NFDM). Each diet was fed for 3 wk at different levels of intake to male weanling rats and change in body weight was related to dry matter intake by linear regression. For the tofu and soybean flake diets, the weight gain coefficient was 65 percent, for the ISP diet 76 percent, and for the soybean nut diet 86 percent of that obtained for the NFDM diet. Differences among weight gain coefficients were attributed to differences with which the various sources of protein influenced the utilization of diets to promote body weight gain. There was no correlation between weight gain coefficient and trypsin inhibitor activity.
