Indirect calorimetry evaluations of energy utilization by laying hens: Nutrient and temperature effects.
A four-chamber indirect calorimeter was constructed to evaluate energy utilization by laying hens as affected by dietary energy, protein and amino acid levels and by housing temperature. Heat production was measured by indirect calorimetry and metabolizable energy was determined for each diet. Net e...
