Following Indicates are used to assess the nutritional value of
protein.

It is the radio between the amount of nitrogen retained and nitrogen
absorbed during a special interval.

Retain nitrogen ? 100BV= -----------------------------------------------
Absorbed nitrogen
Suppose 127mg of a particular protein was consumed by a rat in a

day and 4mg is recoved in feces and 24mg is seen in urine. ThenAmount invested= 127mg
Amount absorbed= 127-4 = 123mg
Amount retained = 99/123?100= 81%
>Net protein utilization (NPU)
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
NPU= retained nitrogen/intake of nitrogen?100 in the above example.NPU of protein "A"=99/127?100= 78%
and for protein "B" it is 4.5/100?100=4.5%
Thus NPU is a better index than BV to denote nutritional quality and
availability of protein ( table 36.12)

>Net dietary protein value (NDPV)
This will assess both quality and quality of the protein in diets.
NDPV= Intake of N?6.25? NPU

It is the weight gain per gram of protein take. The essential amino
acid content can also be expressed in terms of chemical score ( mg
of amino acid per gram of protein). By comparing the chemical
score of different proteins with egg protein, the essential amino acid
