  1. ENERGY BALANCE AND SYSTEMS

  2. References • Blaxter, K. L. 1989. Energy Metabolism in Animals and Man. Cambidge University Press • Kleiber, M. 1975. The Fire of Life. Krieger Publishing, New York Also Beef, Dairy, and Sheep NRC

  3. Basics of Energy Use in Mammals • Simple • Practical • Energy systems to predict and monitor livestock production • The common thread among human weight loss systems

  4. ENERGY CONCEPTS • Energy - “ability to do work” • Feedstuffs • protein • carbohydrates • lipids • Physics of energy • Priestly 1700’s - the flame and the mouse

  5. Priestly and the discovery of oxygen A candle or an animal can make good air bad. Plants restore to the air whatever breathing animals and burning candles remove.

  6. Early discoveries of relevance • Theory of combustion - Both fire and animals produce the same amount of heat per unit of CO2 • Heat production /unit of O2 produced is a more uniform measurement • 1st law of thermodynamics - energy cannot be created or destroyed

  7. Hess’ Law of Heat Summation • Not concerned with mechanisms or rates of energy change • True for living as well as non-living systems • Forms basis for bioenergetic investigation even if mechanisms of action is unknown FECES URINE GAS HEAT MAINTENANCE PRODUCTION FEED ANIMAL 100% OF ENERGY INTAKE

  8. CO2 ATP-ADP CYCLE FUELS H2O O2 CATABOLISM ADP ATP Pi MECHANICAL WORK Pi TRANSPORT WORK Pi BIOSYNTHETIC WORK

  9. Units of Measure • Calorie - energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water 1 degree C (from 16.5 to 17.5) • 1 kilocalorie (kcal) = 1,000 calories • 1megacalorie (Mcal) = 1,000,000 calories • 1kcal/g = 1 Mcal/kg • 1 calorie = 4.184 joules

  11. PARTITIONING OF ENERGY Gross Energy (GE) Digestible Energy (DE) Metabolizable Energy (ME) Net Energy (NE) Digestion loss (fecal) Urine loss Combustible gases (CH4) Heat increment (HI) -heat of fermentation -heat of nutrient metabolism NEm -basal metabolism -activity at maintenance -sustaining body temp NEg -retained energy

  12. HEAT LOSS • BASAL METABOLISM • VOLUNTARY ACTIVITY • PRODUCT FORMATION • THERMAL REGULATION • WORK OF DIGESTION • HEAT OF FERMENTATION • WASTE FORMATION AND EXCRETION

  13. BASAL METABOLISM • VITAL CELLULAR ACTIVITY • RESPIRATION • BLOOD CIRCULATION • IONIC BALANCE • TURNOVER OF PROTEINS

  14. RETAINED ENERGY • TISSUE GROWTH • LACTATION • WOOL GROWTH • HAIR GROWTH • PREGNANCY

  15. SYNTHESIS OF BODY TISSUES • FAT contains 9.4 Mcal/kg and 3.8 Mcal/kg is lost as heat • 13.2 Mcal are required to deposit 1 kg fat • PROTEIN contains 5.6 Mcal/kg (muscle=1.1 Mcal/kg) • 7.4 Mcal are lost as heat (1.5 Mcal for muscle) • 13 Mcal are required to deposit 1 kg of protein • 2.6 Mcal are required to deposit 1 kg of muscle

  19. Nitrogen Carbon Balance (Indirect) • Required data: dry matter, nitrogen, carbon and energy of feed, feces, urine, methane and carbon dioxide. • Assumed: • 6 g protein/g N • .5254 g carbon/g. protein • 5.6 kcal/g protein

  20. N-C balance cont’ • Carbon gained as fat = Foodc – (Fecesc + Urinec + CO2c + Methanec + Proteinc) • Fat assumptions: • 1.307 g fat/ g carbon • 9.4 kcal/g fat • Heat productionkcal = Intakekcal - (Feceskcal + Urinekcal + Methanekcal +Protein gainedkcal + Fat gainedkcal)

  34. NEp (production) • NEg (gain) • NEc (conceptus) • NEl (lactation)

  35. Beef NRC Gain equations • NEm (Mcal) = .077 WTkg.75 *(environmental adjustment) • EBW = .891 SBW • EBG = .956 SWG • SRW = 478 kg for animals finishing at small marbling • EQSBW = SBW * (SRW)/(FSBW) • EQEBW = .891 EQSBW • RE = 0.0635 EQEBW0.75 EBG1.097 • SWG = 13.91 RE 0.9116 EQSBW-.6837

  36. Using Net Energy for Gain Projection Step 1. Determine dry matter intake of each ingredient Lb. as fed DM fraction Lb DM Corn silage 15 .4 6.0 Corn 7 .85 5.95 SBM 1.5 .9 1.35 Total 23.5 13.3 = X

  37. Using Net Energy for Gain Projection Step 2. Determine NEm intake Lb. DM NEm/lb NEm (Mcal) Corn silage 6 .4 4.44 Corn 5.95 1.02 6.07 SBM 1.35 .93 1.26 Total 13.3 11.77 = X Ration NEm (DM Basis) = 11.77Mcal/13.3 lb DM = .89 Mcal/lb

  38. Using Net Energy for Gain Projection Step 3. Determine NEg intake Lb. DM NEg/lb NEg (Mcal) Corn silage 6 ..47 2.82 Corn 5.95 .70 4.17 SBM 1.35 .63 .85 Total 13.3 7.84 = X Ration NEg (DM Basis) = 7.84Mcal/13.3 lb DM = .59 Mcal/lb

  39. Using Net Energy for Gain Projection Step 4. Determine Lb of DM for maintenance 1. NEm requirement 500 lb. steer = 4.5 Mcal 4.5 Mcal * environmental adjustment (1.3) = 5.85 Mcal required / .89 Mcal NEm per lb of DM = 6.6 lb. of feed dry matter needed for maintenance Environmental adjustment (maintenance ratio) for calf fed in open lot conditions in November in Iowa.

  40. Using Net Energy for Gain Projection Step 5. Determine energy available for gain 1. 13.3 lb DM intake - 6.6 lb (needed for maintenance) = 6.7 lb. of feed DM available for gain. 2. 6.7 lbs of DM X .59 Mcal/lb (NEg) = 3.95 Mcal available for gain.

  41. Using Net Energy for Gain Projection • Step 6 - Determine weight gain • 227 kg steer (low choice at 500 kg) • EQSBW = 227 * (478/500) = 217 kg • SWG = 13.91 * 3.95 0.9116 * 217 -.6837 = 1.23 kg/d • ADG = 1.23*2.205 = 2.71 lb/day

  42. Energy Calculations for Dairy Cattle • NEm = .08 LW.75 - increased for activity • Growing bulls & heifers have 12% higher req than beef • NEm = .086 LW.75 • or use beef equations and increase Maint 7-10% • NEl~NEm because of similar efficiency • Lactation requirement (Mcal/kg) milk • = .0969(percent fat in milk)+.36 • Feed Energy Values discounted for level offeeding • For a comparison of Dairy Energy Systems see: J Dairy Sci 81:830, 840, 846 (1998) Energy Symposium

  43. Dairy NRC Feed Energy Discounts = .18 X -10.3
