so the second aspect of the net energy
measurements is to get estimates of
values for fasting reproduction a very
popular technique that was used in the
past was consisted in measuring heat
production at variable M intakes and
extrapolating the hip adduction for zero
M intake so you get a so-called
recreation hip adduction which
corresponds to the fasting reproduction
that is illustrated on that figure for
cars which were fed different energy
levels but for these cars if we also
measure they are fasting in production
during the trial you can see that the
fasting a production that is directly
measured on the animal first is much
higher than the fasting reproduction
obtained by the regression method and is
also variable it is as high as the
feeling level is high which means that
overall the heat increment which we are
looking for is dependent on the
technology of the middle we use for
evaluating fasting production clearly
the best estimate is obtained according
to actually measured fasting
reproduction and the so called
regulation fasting reproduction is
producing an estimate of the freighting
fasting production which is about almost
meaningless and which means that the
each increment obtained according to
that mythology is also meaningless so
that technology is used the with
variable aiming intakes but I think I am
pretty sure that it shouldn't be used
any more in the future
since it provides very strange data
meaningless data the second method for
fasting a production is to measure
directly the annual reproduction on
animals we not detail all this aspect
but that should be done very carefully
by taking you talk into account the
duration to fast at the physical
activity of the animals and the
different calculation
method and so on but some data are
available now and there is no problem
for that but one further question when
we talk about fasting in production is
the way of its expression usually in the
past fasting in production was
considered as relatively constant per
unit of metabolic body weight the
metabolic body weight being historically
considered as body weight with a point
75 exponent which means that the fasting
production was proportional to body
weight point 75 but clearly all
literature data from over obtained over
the last thirty years or 20 years at
least indicate that the so called
metabolic body weight point 75 is no
more applicable to growing animals it is
okay for others but not for growing and
for instance that figure shows that it
could should be something like point 70
embroiders we have shown us well that it
is something equivalent point seventy
for turkeys but it should be something
equivalent to point sixty for pigs and
it is even much higher point 85 for veal
calves so fasting a production in
growing animals is not any more
proportional to body weight point
seventy five and I think there is some
there is a lot of information now
providing fasting production values
for growing animals and these values
could be used in the future
