RER + DER Calculations Flashcards
Most patients..
What is the RER calculation for patients between 2kg - 30kg?
RER = (BWkg x 30) + 70
What is the RER calculation for patients < 2kg?
RER = (BWkg x 70)^0.75
^ = power of/’x’
What is the RER for a Neutered Adult Dog?
1.6 x RER
What is the RER for a Obese Adult Dog?
1.4 x RER
What is the RER for Light exercise Adult Dog?
2 x RER
What is the RER for a Lactating Adult Dog?
1.9 x RER
(+25% per puppy)
Calculate the RER for a 20kg Dog
RER = (BW x 30) + 70
= (20kg x 30) + 70
= 600 + 70
= 670 kcals/day
What does kcals stand for?
Kilocalories
Calculate the RER for a 4kg Cat
RER = (BW x 30) + 70
= (4kg x 30) + 70
= 120 + 70
= 190 kcals/day
Calculate the RER for a 17kg Collie
RER = (BW x 30) + 70
= (17kg x 30) + 70
= 510 + 70
= 580 kcals/day
Calculate the RER for a 25kg Lab
RER = (BW x 30) + 70
= (25kg x 30) + 70
= 750 + 70
= 820 kcals/day
Calculate the RER for a 9kg Maine Coon
RER = (BW x 30) + 70
= (9kg x 30) + 70
= 270 + 70
= 340 kcals/day
Calculate the RER for a 28kg Basset Hound
RER = (BW x 30) + 70
= (28kg x 30) + 70
= 840 + 70
= 910 kcals/day
