1-4 Protein efficiency* of various sources of protein, measured in calves.

Ingredient	Protein efficiency
Blood Meal (BM)	2.92
FM:BM (50:50)	2.62
Feathe Meal (FM)	1.65
Soy Bean Meal	1.21

Protein efficiency measured by using the weight gain of the calves on the urea diet as the base for comparing the weight gains obtained with the other protein treatments. A high protein efficiency indicates that a protein source is being converted more efficiently to Live Weight Gain compared to a protein source that may have a low protein efficiency.
