Assessment of proteins by cumulative weight gain, protein efficency ratio (PER), biological value (BV), and digestibility coefficient (DC) indicated rice polish as an effective means of increasing BV and PER in animal feeding experiments. DC indicates possible use of rice polish as a source of protein in India's diet. Rice polish and a protein concentrate had highest BV in this study. Rice polish unused in India may have market potential alone or blended with fish flour as a protein source.
