... because this is the energy introduced into the biological system and because this minimizes the effects of energy density on feed intake. As a unit expressing feed intake, metabolizable energy (ME)

... Because the data were collected only until day 35, the use of the prediction equation should be restricted to a 5-week lactation period. FIGURE 3-1 Digestible energy intake of creep feed.

... Maximum energy intake was defined as a quadratic function of body weight for weights from 10 to 45 kg and as a hyperbolic (arc sinh) function of weight in the range of 45 to 110 kg BW.
From page 29...
... The body weight of the gilts increased from 125 to 180 kg during the 22week period. VOLUNTARY FEED INTAKE DURING GESTATION Studies of energy requirements during gestation have indicated that restriction of energy intake results in better reproductive performance than when ad libitum consumption of energy is allowed (National Research Council [NRC]

... Upper and lower critical temperatures are defined as the upper and lower environmental temperatures where energy must be expended to heat or cool the body. The implication is that between the upper and lower critical temperatures, energy is not required to maintain body temperature TABLE 3-4 Effect of Breed on Daily Digestible Energy Intake Mean DE Intake Study Reference (kcal/day)

... Therefore, the weight of feed that is consumed is determined by the energy density of the diet fed. As the energy density of the diet increases, the amount of feed consumed decreases to maintain constant energy intake.
From page 35...
... With diet energy densities of less than 3.3 kcal/g, the young pig is unable to maintain daily DE intake, and daily DE intake decreases 1,388 kcal/day as energy density decreases 1 kcal/g. With diets containing more than 3.6 kcal/g, the young pig overconsumes energy, and DE intake increases at a rate of 183 kcal/day for an increase in energy density of 1 kcal/g.
From page 36...
... Adjustment for pelleting would be -9 percent from weaning to 20 kg and -3.1 percent from 20 kg to market. Adjustments for energy density for pigs from weaning to 30 kg are to decrease energy intake by 1,388 kcal/day for each kcal decrease below 3.3 kcal/g, no adjustment between 3.3 and 3.6 kcal/g, and for each kcal above 3.6 kcal/g an increase of 183 kcal/day.

... Data reported by Nienaber (1981) were available and involved variables of energy density and temperature for pigs weighing from 5 to 30 kg.
