Despite the general awareness that energy demands are increased by cold and that the magnitude of those demands is moderated by total body insulation, few quantitative data exist relating environment, nutrient need, and productive efficiency. The latter relationship is particularly important since, in an era of limited resources, it may be necessary to identify the trade-offs between improved production of meat, milk, or eggs in a controlled environment and the capital investment and energy input necessary to create an optimum environment.

Although attempts have been made to unify terminology, contributions of different authors have not been molded to any particular scheme. It is hoped this approach will be valuable in gaining a thorough understanding of adjusting nutrient requirements to deal with existing environments and will therefore aid in developing rational managerial decisions.
