High- or low-fibre diets (257 <jats:italic>v<\/jats:italic>. 56 g DF\/kg dry matter (DM)) were studied in a 6-week balance experiment (initial body weight about 100 g). Heat production was measured using open-air circuit respiration chambers. Pea fibre and pectin were used to adjust the DF level in the high-fibre diet. The ranking order of daily gain of rats kept in different environments was: 24\u00b0&gt;16\u00b0&gt;32\u00b0, while the ranking order for carcass protein was: 16\u00b0&gt;24\u00b0&gt;32\u00b0. Rats on the high-DF diet had a lower daily gain than those on the low DF diet, and more protein in DM of empty body weight (EBW) and less fat. The relative weights (g\/kg EBW) of liver, heart and kidney decreased when increasing the environmental temperature. The relative weight of the heart was highest in rats on the high DF level, while liver and kidney weights were unaffected by DF. Per kg EBW, the stomach, small intestine, caecum and colon and the length of colon were significantly greater in rats consuming the high-fibre diet compared with those on the low-fibre diet. Rats kept at low temperature had a significantly heavier gastrointestinal (GI) tract than those kept at the highest temperature. Digestibility of protein, DM and energy was lowest for rats fed on the high-fibre diet. Heat production (HP) of fed rats as well as fasting HP decreased significantly as environmental temperature increased. HP as a proportion of metabolizable energy (ME) was significantly lower for rats at 24\u00b0 compared with the other environmental temperatures. The proportion of energy retained as protein was slightly higher in rats fed on the high-fibre than on the low-fibre diet. Based on the results of the present study the authors measured a net energy value of 5\u00b74 kJ\/g DF fermented; approximately 50% of the DF came from peas. Possible implications of the present findings are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1079\/bjn19950073","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,9]],"date-time":"2005-06-09T07:49:51Z","timestamp":1118303391000},"page":"687-699","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["The influence of dietary fibre on body composition, visceral organ weight, digestibility and energy balance in rats housed in different thermal environments"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"73","author":[{"given":"Xinquan","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Henry","family":"J\u00f8rgensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bj\u00f8rn O.","family":"Eggum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0007114595000742_ref023","first-page":"29","article-title":"Energieumsatz wachsender Ratten in Abh\u00e4ngigkeit von der Umgebungstemperatur (Energy metabolism of growing rats in dependence on environmental temperature)","volume":"41","author":"Hoffmann","year":"1991","journal-title":"Archives of Animal Nutrition"},{"key":"S0007114595000742_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0300-9629(88)90619-6"},{"key":"S0007114595000742_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"454","DOI":"10.1152\/ajplegacy.1975.228.2.454","article-title":"Sites of organic acid production and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract of the pig","volume":"228","author":"Argenzio","year":"1974","journal-title":"American Journal of Physiology"},{"key":"S0007114595000742_ref050","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1079\/BJN19730005"},{"key":"S0007114595000742_ref021","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1079\/BJN19920103"},{"key":"S0007114595000742_ref018","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2525","DOI":"10.1093\/jn\/116.12.2525","article-title":"Influence of plane of nutrition on body composition, organ size and energy utilization of Sprague-Dawley rats","volume":"116","author":"Ferrell","year":"1986","journal-title":"Journal of Nutrition"},{"key":"S0007114595000742_ref034","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1439-0396.1981.tb01356.x"},{"key":"S0007114595000742_ref029","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1079\/BJN19910063"},{"key":"S0007114595000742_ref020","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1079\/BJN19900057"},{"key":"S0007114595000742_ref026","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0301-6226(83)90033-7"},{"key":"S0007114595000742_ref039","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2527\/jas1988.663699x"},{"key":"S0007114595000742_ref032","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1079\/NRR19920007"},{"key":"S0007114595000742_ref042","volume-title":"User's Guide.
