Study Notes
Bioenergetics Overview
- Bioenergetics studies energy and its metabolism (biochemical thermodynamics)
- Energy is a concept, not a nutrient, and is inherent in some nutrients
- Energy is measured in calories or kilocalories (amount of heat needed to raise 1 gram of water by 1°C)
Energy Terminology
- Gross Energy (GE): The total chemical energy content of a feed (measured through combustion in a bomb calorimeter)
- Digestible Energy (DE): Energy remaining after fecal energy loss (GE - FE)
- Metabolizable Energy (ME): Energy remaining after fecal, urinary, and gaseous losses (DE - urinary energy - gaseous energy).
- Net Energy (NE): The energy remaining after subtracting heat produced during digestion, absorption, and metabolism (ME - Heat Increment (HI)). Represents "useful" usable energy for animal functions.
Energy Measurement Methods
- Calorimetry: Direct measurement of heat production (direct) or relating heat to gas exchange (indirect)
- Comparative Slaughter Technique (CST): Animal feeding trials with standard energy ration over a period, which provides a more practical estimate of energy compared to calorimetry.
Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN)
- TDN is a system to assess feed energy content for ruminants. It combines digestible protein, fiber, nitrogen-free extract and ether extract and is expressed as a percentage of the total feed.
Disorders Associated with Energy Intake
- Obesity: Excess energy intake leading to various health problems in animals.
