A comparison of the nutritional evaluation of irradiated and autoclaved diets in germfree rats.
The food intake, nitrogen retention, apparent digestibilities and other factors were compared in adult Wistar strain male germfree rats given irradiated or autoclaved CL-2 diets. They were no differences between the rats fed the irradiated and the autoclaved CL-2 diets.
