^aGEI = gross energy intake; E_feces = energy losses in feces; E_urine = energy losses in urine; E_methane = energy losses in methane; MEI = metabolizable energy intake; E_milk = energy losses in milk; HP = heat production; RE_body = recovered energy in tissue (RE_body = MEI − HP − E_milk); kl = efficiency of use of ME for milk production.

^bALF = alfalfa; LEM = lemon leaves.
