In scientific terms, the Net Protein Utilization of Protivity is 133%.

Initial and terminal samples were also taken to allow for calculation of net protein utilization (NPU).

Net protein Utilization (NPU)

Measures include the biological value, net protein utilization, protein efficiency ratio, protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score and complete protein concept.

The 'net protein utilization', or NPU, is the ratio of amino acid converted to proteins to the ratio of amino acids supplied.

However, the protein you consume in vegetables, fish, meat, or poultry may not be readily digestible or provide a high NPU (Net Protein Utilization).

They include biological value, net protein utilization, and PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acids Score).

Thus, various feedstuffs may be fed in combination to increase net protein utilization, or a supplement of an individual amino acid (methionine, lysine, threonine, or tryptophan) can be added to the feed.
