Data have been presented on the influence of addition of 1, 3 and 5% defatted fish flour to whole yellow corn, whole wheat, whole and milled rye, grain sorghum and millet on growth and protein efficiency. The greatest responses were secured with grain sorghum, millet and whole yellow corn. The minerals in two dehydrated and defatted fish products were found to be of excellent nutritive value for growth of the albino rat.
