NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the Governing
Board of the National Research Council, whose members are drawn from the councils
of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the
Institute of Medicine. The members of the committee responsible for the report were
chosen for their special competences and with regard for appropriate balance.
This report has been reviewed by a group other than the authors according to proce-
dures approved by a Report Review Committee consisting of members of the National
Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of
Medicine.
The National Research Council was established by the National Academy of Sciences in
1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy's
purposes of furthering knowledge and of advising the federal government. The Council
operates in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy under the
authority of its congressional charter of 1863, which establishes the Academy as a pri-
vate, nonprofit, self-governing membership corporation. The Council has become the
principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National
Academy of Engineering in the conduct of their services to the government, the public,
and the scientific and engineering communities. It is administered jointly by both Acad-
emies and the Institute of Medicine. The National Academy of Engineering and the
Institute of Medicine were established in 1964 and 1970, respectively, under the charter
of the National Academy of Sciences.
This study was supported by the Bureau of Veterinary Medicine, Food and Drug Admin-
istration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, by Agricultural Re-
search, Science and Education Administration of the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
and by Agriculture Canada.

PR EFACE
In 1962 a report was prepared for the Committee on Animal Nu-
trition (CA N ~ by Lorin E. Harris entitled Glossary of Energy
Terms. This report was intended for use as a reference in connec-
tion with the Nutrient Requirements of Domestic Animals Series.
The report was revised in 1966 as Biological Energy Interrela-
t~onships and Glossary of Energy Terms, and research workers
were urged to re,port their data according to the calorie system
so that sufficient information could be obtained to construct feed
composition and nutrient requirement tables for various species of
animals with quantities given in calories. These efforts have been
most successful, and tables of feed composition and nutrient re-
quirements prepared by the species-oriented subcommittees of the
Committee on Animal Nutrition are routinely included in each re-
port of the Nutrient Requirements of Domestic Animals Series.
Several new systems of feed evaluation have come into use since
1966, with varied and sometimes conflicting use of terminology.
The Committee on Animal Nutrition therefore requested the ap-
pointment of a subcommittee to ~ I) develop more systematic
terminology for the description of energy utilization by animals
and (2) reconcile the terminology used in feeding systems with
the more idealized scheme for describing energy metabolism of
animals.

The CAN Subcommittee on Biological Energy was appointed to
address these issues. Two formal meetings were held, the first on
September 29-30, 1977, in Washington, D.C., and the second on
March 2-3, 1978, in Chicago, Illinois. The activities of the subcom-
mittee were expanded to address the compromises included in the
development of practical feeding systems in order to have a system
simple enough to be accepted for general use.
The information contained in this report is the result of the ef-
forts of the members and the suggestions by individuals engaged
in energy metabolism research. In particular, David R. Ames,
Henry S. Bayley, John E. Cantion, Richard C. Ewan, John E.
Halver, and Glen P. Lofgreen assisted by preparing critical reviews,
and their suggestions are deeply appreciated. Also reviewing this
report were the members of the Committee on Animal Nutrition,
the Board on Agriculture and Renewable Resources, and the Com-
mission on Natural Resources. Staff of the Board on Agriculture
and Renewable Resources, Philip Ross (executive secretary),
Selma P. Baron (staff officer), and Sheridan E. Caldwell (secretary)
assisted the subcommittee in the production of this report.
