Extract

1. The potency of balancing interactions between the protein of herring press-cake (dried) and solubles (condensed) on one side, and certain vegetable feeds on the other, has been examined on 2- to 4-week-old chicks:

(a) Initially by comparing the co-effect of a series of different combinations of the herring products when ingested together with certain cereals plus extracted ground-nut meal, to that estimated earlier when the same combinations of herring products formed the sole dietary protein.

(b) Thereafter by studying whether the co-effect of the herring products was influenced or not by substituting extracted soya-bean meal for the ground-nut meal.

(c) Further by tentative trials to show that registered interactions were caused by some keystone amino acids.

2. A special dietary system was devised for the purpose (a basal diet of actual feeds + a synthetic, practically protein-free basal diet + the tested feed, eventually + adjustments), the results being recorded as combinative protein value = c.p.v.

3. Interactions between dietary constituents not only were shown under the circumstances, but proved to be an easily acting factor of great power. Herring solubles in proportions of 15–45% were formerly found to bring about a statistically significant improvement of the meal when fed together with this as the only protein of the diet. But: (a) the introduction of certain cereals and ground-nut readily converted the beneficial effect of the solubles into a significantly negative one. (b) Whereas soya-beans instead of ground-nut evidently reversed the situation again. In this third grouping solubles at moderate levels appeared neutral, meaning that herring solubles combined significantly better with soya-bean than with ground-nut when fed to young chicks in presence of a set of cereals and herring meal, (c) Responses to supplemental, crystalline amino acids showed that the interactions between the protein sources could be attributed to their constituent amino acids. Thus the little efficient combination of solubles and ground-nut plus certain cereals could be greatly improved by small quantities of all ten essential amino acids together, and equally much by lysine plus threonine only. Contrarily, the diet appeared weakened when lysine, threonine or isoloucine were omitted singly or together from the whole ten. The same was the case with single addition of leucine.

4. The discussion stresses the pre-eminent importance of the diet in biological estimations of protein value. It also points out the practical significance of skilful combination of different protein sources.
