Summary:
Professor DeShazer emphasized many important concepts relative to energetic efficiency in food animal production. These concepts included an overview of general energy flow in livestock systems, energetics of domestic animals as affected by environmental temperature and factors that affect heating requirements of animal shelters. These general principles are reiterated in this discussion of his paper. Slightly different aspects of each concept are presented. Practical considerations that are important in applying research results to farm environments are emphasized.
