The nutritive value of sunflower seeds (Helianthus annus) was studied and compared to that of casein. Thirty-six male rats, Wistar strain, aged 23 days, were divided into two groups and fed (a) a sunflower cake meal diet, and (b) a casein diet. The results indicate that due to its high protein level (52.06%) and coefficient of digestibility (95 CD) sunflower can be used as a feeding formula although its PER does not recommend its use as a milk substitute.
对向日葵籽（向日葵）的营养价值进行了研究，并与酪蛋白的营养价值进行了比较。选用36只23日龄的雄性Wistar大鼠，分为两组，分别喂食（a）向日葵饼粕日粮和（b）酪蛋白日粮。结果表明，由于向日葵籽蛋白质含量高（52.06%）且消化系数高（95 CD），尽管其蛋白质效率比值不建议将其用作牛奶替代品，但仍可作为一种饲料配方使用。
