The effect of ambient temperature (T; 12 to 22 °C) and body weight (BW; 37 to 95 kg) on metabolisable energy intake (ME) and the components of energy balance was studied in six individually-housed barrows kept in a respiratory chamber. Each animal was fed ad libitum and was exposed successively in a cyclic manner to variable T (three days per T). The O$_2$ and CO$_2$ concentrations, feed intake and physical activity were continuously recorded and used to calculate total heat production (HP), heat production due to physical activity (HP$_{{\rm act}}$) and the short-term thermic effect of feed (TEF$_{{\rm st}}$). The HP and its components were modelled using non-linear equations with T, BW and ME as predictors. The results were compar...
