The equation used for puppy energy requirements is based on current body weight and expected adult weight.   
+
The equation used for puppy energy requirements in table 1 is based on current body weight and expected adult weight.   
    
:::130 x BW (KG)<sup>0.75</sup> x 3.2 x [e<sup>(-0.87p)</sup> - 0.1]
 
:::130 x BW (KG)<sup>0.75</sup> x 3.2 x [e<sup>(-0.87p)</sup> - 0.1]

However, the columns are in age in months, NOT current weight of the puppy. This is because the energy requirement data at a given age are calculated from the expected weight at that age – and this varies depending on the anticipated adult weight of the dog.
+
N.B. The table displays the columns in age in months, not current weight of the puppy. This is because the energy requirement data at a given age are calculated from the expected weight at that age – and this varies depending on the anticipated adult weight of the dog.
