Animal production systems have changed dramatically over the last
two decades. Knowledge of energy metabolism and environmental
physio logy has increased as appears from many textbooks on these
disciplines. The contents of the symposia on energy metabolism of
farm animals show this and they have initially focussed on feed
evaluation and later on com parative aspects of energy metabolism.
They show part of the progress being made. Application of knowledge
of energy metabolism for animals has a long history since
Lavoisier. In addition to this, studies about the environ mental
requirements of animals have shown that we are still far from ac
curate assessment of these requirements in terms of nutrients and
ener gy. I n model studies on energy metabolism researchers have
recognized the interaction between the environment and the energy
requirements of animals. Estimation of energy requirements has been
done in physiolo gical, physical and behavioural studies. The
impact of conditions as en countered by animals in various
production systems has been approached from different viewpoints
related to these different disciplines. In addi tion, various kinds
of infections (bacterial, parasitic: subclinical, clini cal) have
been evaluated only recently with regard to their effect on pro
tein and/or energy metabolism and thus on production. People
working in the field of feed evaluation have defined how che mical
and physical properties of nutrition infiuence energy to be derived
for maintenance and production.
