“…The increase in protein content in the high-protein varieties was due in large measure to increases in levels of leucine and nonessential amino acids which are constituents of the prolamine fraction of cereal proteins. This observation agrees with previous reports (Vavich et al, 1959;Waggle et al, 1966). Results of the feeding and digestibility comparisons are shown in Table V.…”

“…Vavich et al (4) observed that, as meas ured by chick growth, sorghum grain con taining 10.5% protein was superior to sorghum grain containing 15.3% protein when fed at a constant level of protein in the diet. Using microbiological amino acid assays they found that the diet made with the 10.5% protein sorghum grain was low in lysine and arginine, and that made with the 15.3% protein sample was high in leucine and isoleucine.…”

The nutritive value of protein of 2 sorghum grain composites containing 7.9% and 11.8% protein, respectively, was compared on the basis of growth of rats and amino acid analyses. The high protein sorghum grain had higher percentages of all the 17 amino acids studied than did the low protein sorghum grain. In both grains, lysine was the most deficient amino acid, and content of sulfur-containing amino acids and threonine also was low. Calculated on an equal nitrogen basis, the dibasic amino acids, especially lysine, the sulfur-containing amino acids, and threonine levels of the high protein sorghum grain were lower than those of the low protein sorghum grain. Nutri tive value of the protein of low protein sorghum grain was superior to that of a high protein sorghum grain, as shown both by growth of rats and amino acid assays. When lysine, histidine, and arginine were added to the high protein sorghum grain diet to adjust percentages of those amino acids in the protein similar to the content in the low protein sorghum grain diet, an increase in growth resulted.

“…Waggle et al (1966), Sauberlich et al (1953), and Vavich et al (1959 have shown protein of low-protein sorghum grain to have higher nutritive value than protein of high-protein sorghum grain. Less weight was gained when using the high-protein sorghum grain diet than on low-protien sorghum.…”
