Rice and other corns as well as potato were mixed, as indicated in the following table, and fed to the experimental animals for 14 weeks. It was observed that the 9th and 10th dietary groups, whose protein values were higher among the experimental groups, displayed the more ideal growth and development as compared with other groups, and that the mixing ratio in these groups was proved to be better nutritionally as judged from the serum protein levels.
