A deer eats 25 kg of herbaceous material per day. The herbaceous material is approximately 20% dry matter (DM) and has an energy content of 10MJ/kgDM. of the total energy ingested per day, 25% is excreted as undigested material. of the 75% that is digested, 80% is lost to metabolic waste products and heat. The remaining 20% is converted to body tissue. how much MJ are converted tobody tissue on a daily basis? Calculate the percentage of energy consumed that is converted to body tissue. Draw a schematic diagram of energy balance.
