Description

Starting from basic thermodynamic principles, this volume attempts to provide coverage of the utilization of energy in animals and man and the many factors which govern the nutritional requirement for energy. The effects of radiation, convection, conduction and evaporation are examined.

Table of Contents

  • Introduction
  • general principles
  • components of the energy budget - metabolisable energy
  • components of the energy budget - heat production
  • components of the energy budget - energy retention
  • intermediary metabolism and energy exchanges
  • energy exchanges by radiation, convection, conduction and evaporation
  • the minimal metabolism
  • muscular work
  • metabolic effects of the physical environment
  • reproduction and growth
  • the utilization of the energy of food
  • the application of studies of the energy exchange.
