Improvement of Supramine and development of new food mixtures for the young II. Development of new food mixtures for the young

Four high-protein food mixtures for feeding the young were formulated from locally available and relatively cheap legumes and cereals. Protein content of these mixtures ranged from 17.2 to 20.3 g %. Amino acid composition showed agreement with the FAO provisional pattern except for sulphur amino acids. Analysis of the mineral content of the prepared mixtures indicated the necessity of supplementation with zinc and phosphorus to meet the physiological requirements of the consumers.
