“…The latter was dependent on formulating poultry rations based to a very large extent on local materials [23,29,[51][52][53]. With this as an objective, Squibb et al [54][55][56][57][58] carried out an extensive series of experiments with 1-day-old chicks to evaluate the nutritional quality of available raw materials. The results of these studies led to the formulation of a number of poultry diets of high nutritional quality.…”

“…Nutritional studies conducted by Squibb et al [54,58] included the evaluation of local protein sources such as sesame oil meal and cottonseed meal. The studies also evaluated cereals such as corn and sorghum, as well as buckwheat and others, as energy sources [43]; dehydrated leaves as sources of biologically active carotenoids [36]; and other materials such as African palm meal as sources of protein [54,58]. The evaluation included the determination of limiting amino acids and the effects that these local ingredients had on the growth of the experimental animals, food conversion efficiency, antiphysiological effects, blood biochemistry, and body composition.…”

This article describes the efforts of the Institute of Nutrition of Central America and Panama (INCAP) to develop a relatively low-cost vegetable protein mixture suitable as a complementary food for infants and young children. As it turned out, the resulting product became popular with older children and adults, and its superior nutritional benefits were widely recognized by the population. This effort led to broader studies by INCAP of the nutritional quality of vegetable protein mixtures, including raw materials, processing to convert them into human-grade products, product formulation, and commercialization.

Successful all-vegetable rations for poultry feeding employing locally available feedstuffs have been previously developed for use in Central America (6,7). With this experience and other studies of the value of plants which grow well in the area, INCAP Mixture 8 ( V M 8) a vegetable mixture for human consumption has been developed from local foods and tested (1,.5). This formula has been shown to be effective for the treatment, and suitable for the prevention, of a form of severe protein malnutrition in children known as kwashiorkor which is common in Central America as in many other technically underdeveloped areas of the world.In order to improve the commercial practicability of this V M 8 formula for human feeding and also to give greater flexibility to the formulation of poultry rations from locally grown plants, the use of buckwheat (Fugopyrum escuknturn) as a source of carbohydrates and quality protein in such mixtures has been explored. Buckwheat is of particular interest since it is easily cultivated and yields well in the area and has been shown to have a relatively high nutritive value (9). MATERIAL AND METHODSBuckwheat (Fugopyrum escztlenfum) is reported to contain 1 l.Z$% of protein, 2.4% fat, 64.0% carbohydrates, 10.7% crude fiber, 1.7% ash and to have a lysine content of 0 .689% (2,3). The sample selected for these studies was grown in the Guatemala City area (elevation 5,000 feet). It was tested (a) as a replacement for the carbohydrate base of the V M 8 mixture and (b) as a source of lysine, which is one of the limiting amino acids of all-vegetable protein mixtures for chicks (8).Straight run 3-day old New Hampshire chicks were employed. No more than 12 chicks were housed in each all-wire cage. Heat was thermostatically controlled as required by the age of the bird. All experimental animals received water and feed ad libitum, and were weighed individually each week for a 35-day period. The rations fed, number, growth and the efficiencies of feed utilization of the chicks are presented in Table 1. RESULTSGround buckwheat was first tested as a substitute for corn and sorghum. In experiment 1, the buckwheat was fed to replace O.O%, 33.376, 66.6% and 100.0~0 of the ground corn of an all-vegetable protein diet containing sesame, cottonseed and corozo oil meals as the principal sources of proteins. The significant linear response in the growth of the chicks and increased efficiency of feed utilization to each increased percent of buckwheat except the first indicates that buckwheat was superior to corn in these rations.
