Protein and energy utilization in men given a rural Guatemalan diet and egg formulas with and without added oat bran
1978
Calloway, D.H. | Kretsch, M.J.
Extract: Healthy men were fed a fiber free formula diet providing the FAO/WHO Safe Level of egg protein and a rural Guatemalan diet. For comparison an egg formula diet was fed at the higher protein level, with and without oat bran. Addition of bran doubled the fecal excretion of dry matter and energy; digestibility of energy and protein was reduced. With the Guatemalan diet, fecal dry matter, nitrogen and energy excretions were nearly four times as high as with egg formula. Tables show statistics.
