Restricted means less than they would consume if given free-choice access. Free-choice is what most folks do when feed is available to access at all times. I use a formulation that under thermally neutral conditions is nutritionally complete with respect to protein (amino acids), fatty acids, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and minerals. BOSS is one of the ingredients. To compensate for increased energy needs I use a mixture of additional whole corn and BOSS that is consumed only after they have consumed complete formulation already mentioned. The additional whole corn and BOSS are not valued for protein content, rather for energy only and some of that comes from degraded protein. Overall dietary protein intake does increase but not enough to cause health issues.
Protein is not just protein. It is very much about a balance of the amino acids that dominate the "protein".
With respect to cost of BOSS, it has attributes that I value much more than the protein it contains.
