Description Supplementation with l-lysine increased the PER of
a poor pearl millet diet (PPD) increased to a highly
significant extent from 2.40 to 3.38. Addition of threonine
or methionine or a mixture of both along with lysine did
not bring about any further increase in PER. The results
have shown that lysine is the most limiting amino acid in
the poor pearl millet diet and its protein quality could be
effectively improved by for~ification with lysine alone.
