An article in the Australian Journal of Agricultural Research, “Non-Starch Polysaccharides and Broiler Performance on Diets Containing Soyabean Meal as the Sole Protein Concentrate” (1993, Vol. 44, No. 8, pp. 1483–1499) determined the essential amino acid (Lysine) composition level of soybean meals are as shown below (g/kg):
22.2 | 24.7 | 20.9 | 26.0 | 27.0 |
24.8 | 26.5 | 23.8 | 25.6 | 23.9 |
Round your answers to 2 decimal places.
