Abstract
Abstract In dogs on restricted isoealoric intake, positive nitrogen balance can be maintained when the proportion of protein to carbohydrate is 4 to 1 but not 1 to 4, respectively. The practical implications of these findings in regard to the desirability in restricted diets of giving priority to protein over caloric needs are discussed.
