Large Animal and Livestock EnergeticsJeff Richardson2022-03-15T15:22:12-07:00

What traits make a metabolic champion? The environmental conditions and the response of large animals has been the subject of extensive research. Studies have evaluated the effects of food sources, acclimation, physiological state, and social interactions on animal productivity responses to the environment. Since adaptation of the animal to its environment requires regulation of body temperature, measurement of animal energetics reveals the extent and cost of adaptation.

Important System Considerations

  • Versatile setup for benchtop or field
  • Rugged compact design for field use
  • High resolution MR; VO2 max, RQ
  • Highest range and stability of CO2 measurement
  • Direct Measurement of water vapor pressure
  • High flow range from 100 to 1800 L/min
