. The principles of animal nutrition : with special reference to the nutrition of farm animals . Nutrition. 446 PRINCIPLES OF ANIMAL NUTRITION. before, OG represents the fasting metabolism at a temperature below the critical point and OM the critical amount of food at this temperature. Then the hne GKS represents the availabiUty of the food, HLS' the heat production, and OS the maintenance requirement. Beyond the point S we may assume that the net availability of the food remains the same, represented by the line ST. But a fraction of this net available energy, however, can be. recovered as mechanical work, and its utiHzation wiU therefore be represented by some such line as SV., while the heat production will be correspondingly increased as represented by S'V. Similarly the proportion of the net available energy which in the quiescent animal is stored up in the form of new tissue may be expressed by a hne SU and the corresponding heat production by S'U'. What the relation between the proportions utilized in the two cases is we do not know, and the diagram is intended to be simply schematic; Digitized by Microsoft®.
