Abstract

The nutritive value of sunflower seeds (Helianthus annus) was studied and compared to that of casein. Thirty-six male rats, Wistar strain, aged 23 days, were divided into two groups and fed (a) a sunflower cake meal diet, and (b) a casein diet. The results indicate that due to its high protein level (52.06%) and coefficient of digestibility (95 CD) sunflower can be used as a feeding formula although its PER does not recommend its use as a milk substitute.
