New protein ingredients are used to support pet food market growth and the development of new products while maintaining animal dietary needs. However, novel protein sources (e.g., spray-dried chicken, and (or) rice, pea, and potato protein concentrates) have limited data available regarding their protein quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate protein ingredients used in the pet food industry by laboratory analysis and a chick growth assay as a model. Following analysis for proximate and amino acid composition, chicks (six birds per pen with four pens per treatment) were fed experimental diets for 10 d. Diets contained 10% crude protein from each of the experimental protein sources (spray-dried egg—SDEG; spray-dried egg white—SDEW, spray-dried inedible whole egg—SDIE, chicken by-product meal—CBPM, chicken meal—CKML, low-temperature fluid bed air-dried chicken—LTCK, low-temperature and pressure fluid bed dried chicken—LTPC, spray-dried chicken—SDCK, whey protein concentrate—WPCT, corn gluten meal—CGML, corn protein concentrate—CPCT, potato protein isolate—PPIS, rice protein concentrate—RPCT, pea protein isolate—PEPI, soy protein isolate—SPIS, and soybean meal—SBML) along with an N-free diet (negative control). Chicks fed SDEG, SDIE, and LTPC had the highest protein efficiency ratio (PER; P< 0.0001; 5.18, 5.37, and 5.33, respectively), LTCK and SDCK were intermediate (4.54 and 4.79), and the CBPM and CKML were the lowest among the poultry proteins for EAA:NEAA, PER, and Lys availability. Among the vegetable proteins, PPIS and SBML had the highest PER values (3.60 and 3.48, P< 0.0001). In general, the chick PER method ranked the quality of animal protein sources higher than vegetable proteins, and these results were consistent with the EAA:NEAA ratio and Lys availability.
