Implements SDA calculation for metabolic cost of feeding and digestion
Usage
calculate_sda(consumption_energy, egestion_energy, SDA_coeff)
Arguments
- consumption_energy
Consumption in energy (J/g)
- egestion_energy
Egestion in energy (J/g)
- SDA_coeff
Specific dynamic action coefficient
Value
SDA in energy (J/g)
Details
Calculates SDA using: SDA = SDA_coeff × (consumption - egestion)
Special cases:
- When egestion > consumption: egestion is capped at consumption value
- Result is always ≥ 0
