If an insect that eats plant seeds containing 100 J ofenergy uses 30 J of that energy for respiration andexcretes 50 J in its feces, what is the insect’s net secondary production? What is its production efficiency?
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
Is feed cost an important part in animal production?
Why or why not?
