  abstract = {{T}he digestibility and metabolism in school age children of diets from two yam species (#{D}. dumetorum$ and #{D}. rotundata$) are compared. {T}en boys age 65 to 84 months, with heights and weights close to {NCHS} reference values, were fed meals deriving half of their protein and almost all of their starch from either of the two yam species. {A}fter 6 days of adaptation, food intake, stool and urine were collected for 4 days and analysed. {F}eeding diet based on #{D}. dumetorum$ resulted in higher apparent protein digestibility, net protein retention and net protein utilisation of 63.5, 46.2 and 29.8, respectively, compared to 56.1, 36.1 and 20.6 for #{D}. rotundata$-based diet.
