Heat production (kJ/kg of BW 0.75 ) from oxidation and fermentation; daily oxidation (kJ/kg of BW0.75 ) of protein, carbohydrate, and fat; and their contribution to the heat production from oxidation substrates of Murciano-Granadina goats (n = 10) during late lactation.

a A = mixed diet with Alfalfa as forage; M = mixed diet with Maralfalfa as forage.
b HPx = heat production from oxidation of nutrients; HPf = heat production of fermentation [HPf = HP − HPx (Brouwer, 1958)]; OXP = heat
production associated with the oxidation of protein; OXCHO = heat production associated with the oxidation of carbohydrates; OXF = heat production associated with the oxidation of fat; RQnpx = nonprotein respiratory quotient (unitless) from oxidation of nutrients
{[CO2 x − (Nurine × 6.25 × 0.774)]/[O2 − (Nurine × 6.25 × 0.957)], where CO2 = CO2 production from oxidation and Nurine = N in urine}.
c SEM = standard error of the mean.
