One square metre of land that is planted with rice produces about 5200 kJ of energy per year. A chicken farm produces about 800 kl/m' of potential food energy per year. Assume that a human must consume 2400 kJ per day to survive. Although it is an oversimplication to imply that a person could survive by eating only one type of food, calculate the total area of land needed to support the entire student population of your school (n=1800) for one year on a diet of (a) rice ONLY and (b) chicken ONLY.

Discuss the differences between GE (Gross energy), ME (Metabolizable energy), and DE (Digestible Energy). Among the three values, which one is the most accurate estimate of energy value of a feedstuff and why?
Signed in as: ARIA Q Review/ ABC Look at figure 1 in the passage. Which of the following relationships is BEST shown by the data? The more massive the penguin, the more food is delivered to the offspring. The maximum efficiency in food foraging is reached at about 20% sea ice concentration. The amount of food delivered is about the same at 12% and 15% sea ice concentration. The greater the sea ice concentration, the greater the efficiency in delivering food.
A bird eats sunflower seeds from a bird feeder on a snowy day. Of the 1000 J of energy that was in the consumed seeds, the bird stored 10 J of energy in its body, eliminated 150 J of energy in its waste, and used the remaining energy to respire. What is the production efficiency of this bird? Useful equation: PE = Pn/An x 100

Stellvester Ajero is a farmer who raises deer in his ranch. He has 100 female deer age 3–15 months. The deer require 22 MJ of metabolizable energy per day during the spring months. The deer are being fed a mixture of 50% wheat and 50% silage. The wheat contains 85% dry matter (DM) and has 12.5 MJ metabolizable energy per kilogram of DM. The silage has 30% dry matter and 10.5 MJ metabolizable energy per kilogram of DM.a) How many kilograms of feed are required per day to feed the 100 deer?b) Calculate the energy (in MJ) converted to body tissue on a daily basis. Assume that 19% of the feed consumed is excreted as undigested material. Of the remaining 81% that is digested, 78% is used in generating metabolic waste products and heat. The remaining is incorporated into tissue.
To determine the metabolizable energy (ME) of a petfood, I can use Modified Atwater Values (3.5, 3.5 and 8.5 Kcal/kg for NFE, protein and fat, respectively). Below is my petfood label. Calcluate the ME for the label in Kcal/kg. Moisture = 10% Protein = 28% Fat = 14% Ash = 4% Fiber = 4%
