二、Sentence Structures and Analysis

1、This is especially important from the standpoint of balancing rations for ruminants since such animals normally have significant energy losses of both types,and different feeds and rations vary greatly in the amount of these losses.  

2、In the final analysis, however, to the extent that reliable NE values are available,they represent the most precise measure of an animal's energy needs and the capacity of different feeds to meet these needs.  

3、Not only do NE values allow for the energy losses of the urine and fermentation gases,but also they take into consideration the energy losses from the heat of nutrient utilization or the heat increment.
