Zusammenfassung:The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition of jatoba-do-cerrado flour and its effects on rat's growth. The chemical composition of the flour was determined according to AOAC. The PER, NPR, food efficiency ratio (FER), food conversion ratio (FCR), dry matter digestibility (DMD) and fecal output were evaluated by an assay in which animals were fed according the AIN93 diet: casein (CAS) diet and another having 50% of its protein source from jatoba flour (JAT). Chemical analysis showed significant amounts of crude fibre and minerals (potassium, magnesium, calcium and zinc) in the flour. The CAS group ate more and gained more weight than JAT group (p
