Feed:Food DIAAS-Adjusted Protein Ratio

Definition: This metric evaluates the efficiency of DIAAS adjusted protein conversion in the production systems.

Note: The ratio is calculated by dividing the weight of DIAAS-adjusted protein used in animal feed by the weight of DIAAS-adjusted protein produced by the system, using human digestibility parameters.

The color of the circle (representing the system) indicates the Feed:Food DIAAS-Adjusted Protein Ratio as follows:

Less than one

1-2

2-3

More than 3

Pie chart explanation:

Dark shade

Light shade

When DIAAS-adjusted protein produced (tons/year) is selected as the circle area, the dark shade of the pie chart represents the domestic share, while the light shade represents the imported share. When Live weight (tons/day) is selected as the circle area, the dark shade of the pie chart represents the domestic share, while the light shade represents the exported share.

Note: On a regional level, the import and export shares include for trade within the region, consistent with FAO reports.
