Assessment of Interrelationships among Levels of Intake and Production, Organ Size and Fasting Heat Production in Growing Animals

Abstract: Although the concept of metabolic body size (kg0.75) has gained widespread use in the field of energy metabolism, its application to the growing animal has been questioned. Fasting heat production, or maintenance, rather than being a constant function of body size, has been shown to vary because of breed, sex, condition, physiological state, production level, nutrition level and environmental conditions. Data are presented to show that fasting heat production and maintenance vary with nutritional level or rate… Show more

“…However, the FHP value measured in the present study was slightly lower than the mean value (0.765 MJ·d -1 ·(kg BW) -0.60 ) obtained by Noblet et al [18] in a contemporary study with similar pigs and methodologies. However, in that latter study, the feeding level was higher (2.7 vs. 2.3 MJ·d -1 ·(kg BW) -0.60 ), and feeding level appears to affect FHP according to the conclusions of de Lange et al (unpublished data) and Koong et al [14].…”

“…VI) was digested in growing and finishing pigs. In fact, it appears that nutrient faecal losses (e.g., N or fat) increased in the presence of DF; this can be related to endogenous secretions associated with the higher microbial activity in the hindgut [7,14,19].…”

“…Furthermore, it was shown in animals that energy restriction induces a reduction of weight and oxygen consumption, that is metabolic rate, of gut and liver in less than one week while total body weight loss is still moderate. 23,24 Because of the high metabolic rate of these organs and their major contribution to the whole-body energy expenditure, the decrease in REE for FFM observed in obese girls at the very beginning of the low-energy diet might be partly explained by reductions of organ size and metabolic rate rather than the 2.3 to 5 kg weight loss.…”

“…Some internal organs of the body such as liver, kidney, heart and gastrointestinal tract are responsible for up to 40% of energy requirement for maintenance of fasting cattle (Koong et al, 1985). Therefore, it is worth stressing the direct relationship between the size of internal organs and maintenance requirements of beef cattle.…”
