The net production of consumers (N) is calculated using the formula N = I - (F + R), where I is ingested energy, F is energy lost in feces and urine, and R is respiratory energy loss.
N = I - (F + R) N = net production of consumers I = chemical energy in ingested food F = chemical energy lost as faeces and urine R = respiratory losses

| Back | N = I - (F + R) N = net production of consumers I = chemical energy in ingested food F = chemical energy lost as faeces and urine R = respiratory losses |
