Biological evaluation including body weight gain, total food intake, food efficiency ratio, protein efficiency ratio and corrected protein efficiency ratio was assessed in rats in comparison to casein diet. In addition, nitrogen content of rat carcass was determined. Results of proximate analysis of legumes showed that percentage protein, fat, fibers, moisture and calories were increased while percentage ash and Carbohydrates were reduced on germination of laba bean UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2010/MUJACB/110/5/251.pdf ER -
