Rover's Energy Essay

Rover’s Energy Requirements: To begin with we must calculate Rover’s Resting Energy Requirement (RER). To calculate the RER we use the following equation:
RER = 70 x (BWkg) ^ 0.75
So for Rover who weighs 12kg: RER = 70 x (12) ^0.75 RER = 70 x (6.447) RER = 451.29kcal
Selection of a Complete Diet: To ensure that Rover is receiving the best nutrition, it is highly recommended that Rover be placed onto a complete diet. A complete diet is a commercially based food that has been formulated with the correct amount of nutrients required by the pet. A balanced diet consists of nutrient content, digestibility, palatability and energy content. A well balanced diet produces a stable state (homeostasis) within the pet’s body. That is metabolic equilibrium (Baker 2014, p.17). An appropriate choice …show more content…
So RER x 2.5 = 451.29 x 2.5 = 1,128.225
According to the Hill's™ Science Diet™ Puppy Chicken and Barley Entrée Canned there is 1302 kcal/kg and there are 1000g in a kilogram. This equates to 1302/1000 = 1.302kcal per gram of food.
To calculate the Daily Energy Requirement (DER) you divide the kcal required by the kcal per gram of the …show more content…
Explain to the owners that it is best over the coming days to feed Rover at least three times (as the vet clinic did) and to monitor how much he eats and drinks. It also important to ask them to record these observations down so that if anything was to suddenly occur, they have a record of what they did. This will help the nurses and the vets determine the potential cause of Rover’s vomiting (if it occurs again). The information for owners to record at home

    Energy For Future Presidents By Richard J. Muller: Summary

    1.0 Introduction Richard J. Muller is an accomplished professor at the University of California at Berkeley with expertise in a variety of areas including: energy efficiency, conservation, solar power, and nuclear power. His book “Energy for Future Presidents” is an open monologue where Muller expresses his thoughts on the current state of energy sources and its potential in a growing world where the demand for energy is continually escalating. The need for this book stems from a lack of in-depth knowledge about energy sources and the issues surrounding it. This publication focuses around exploring alternatives for energy security in the United States, while also keeping in mind the effects that these energy sources have on global warming. One of the greatest strengths encompassed within the reading pertains to the author’s ability to be non-subjective in his writing and that the author offers a different perspective on energy; separate from the way the world understands it.…

    Carbohydrates Proteins And Fats

    However, that was not the case since every food that is in a container has a certain amount of servings. Therefore, for every serving eaten you must multiply that by the grams of each energy providing building blocks. For example, on day one I documented a Glucerna Shake (Row 3) that had provided seven grams of fat, 10 grams of protein, and 23 grams of carbohydrates per one serving. Shake only provides one, however if the shake where to have given two or (x amount servings) I would have multiply the yield of grams by two or ( x amount servings).…

    Lab: Energy

    Lab 6: Energy The intent of this lab is to show the relationships of energy to a system. For this experiment, we had a spring attached to a car, which was attached to a string that went through a rotary sensor and had a weight attached at the end. By stretching the spring, and causing the weight to drop nearer to the ground and bounce up we were able to determine: the angle of the string and rotations; the car position; height of the weight bouncing up and down; velocity; the stretch of the spring; gravitational potential energy (GPE); the springs potential energy (SPE); the kinetic energy produced (KE); and the total energy of the system over time. Where, gravitational potential energy is the energy the weight has due to its position in the…

    BAARF Feeders

    Also known as the biologically appropriate raw food diet, the BARF diet is one of many “raw meat based” formulations that have gained significant popularity amongst pet owners in the last decade.1, 2 These diets often combine uncooked animal proteins such as meaty bones and offal with vegetables, pulses, grains, milk and eggs.3 This topic is worthy of veterinary attention as more owners start to base feeding preferences on unsubstantiated claims of nutritional benefit published extensively over the Internet by unqualified lay people. The feeding of BARF diets to pets has become arguably one of the most contentious, controversial and debated topics in companion animal nutrition; the argument is two-sided, and these two sides are in vehement…
