Abstract
Modified paired-feeding experiments were conducted with three groups of 8 young male albino rats to determine the effects of isocaloric diets containing 5.0, 10.98, and 18.27% of lard upon gains in weight, fat, protein, and energy, and upon the efficiency of utilization of feed energy. No statistically significant differences were found in the gains in weight, in the storage of fat, protein or energy, or in the efficiency of the utilization of feed energy as related to the fat content of the diets.
