2. About
PER can be defined as the
weight gain of test
group/protein consumed by
the test group.
Advantages- the only equipment needed are rat
cages, food jars, water bottles, and a balance.
Disadvantages -
Because the test can be conducted only with
growing animals, it cannot be used to determine
the protein requirement for maintenance, but
only the combined requirement for growth and
maintenance.
PER cannot distinguish between weight
gained as fat and as lean body mass
