Abstract
ABSTRACT AN indirect calorimeter was shown to be adequately described as a linear, first order, constant coefficient system. Dynamic variation in the heat production of animals, normally obscured when measured using indirect calorimeters, could, therefore, be recovered via deconvolution and methods are presented to do this. These methods were applied in the measurement of activity related heat production of 40 kg swine. When the deconvolution methods were applied to measured data, a close correlation was found between observed behavior and the resulting changes in heat production. Results showed that, on average, heat production rate was increased 95% above the resting level during standing activity
