Max Kleiber (4 January 1893 – 5 January 1976) was a Swiss agricultural biologist, born and educated in Zurich, Switzerland. Kleiber graduated from the Federal Institute of Technology as an Agricultural Chemist in 1920, earned the ScD degree in 1924, and became a private dozent after publishing his thesis The Energy Concept in the Science of Nutrition. He is credited with the description of the ratio of metabolism to body mass, which became Kleiber's law.

  • Max Kleiber (4 January 1893 – 5 January 1976) was a Swiss agricultural biologist, born and educated in Zurich, Switzerland. Kleiber graduated from the Federal Institute of Technology as an Agricultural Chemist in 1920, earned the ScD degree in 1924, and became a private dozent after publishing his thesis The Energy Concept in the Science of Nutrition. Kleiber joined the Animal Husbandry Department of UC Davis in 1929 to construct and conduct research on energy metabolism in animals. Among his many important achievements, two are especially noteworthy. In 1932 he came to the conclusion that the ¾ power of body weight was the most reliable basis for predicting the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of animals and for comparing nutrient requirements among animals of different size. He also provided the basis for the conclusion that total efficiency of energy utilization is independent of body size. These concepts and several others fundamental for understanding energy metabolism are discussed in Kleiber's book, published in 1961 and subsequently translated into German, Polish, Spanish, and Japanese. He is credited with the description of the ratio of metabolism to body mass, which became Kleiber's law. (en)

Nel 1929 giunse al Dipartimento di Zootecnia dell'Università della California a Davis per costruire e condurre ricerche sul metabolismo energetico negli animali. Tra i suoi più importanti risultati, due sono particolarmente degni di nota. Nel 1932 giunse alla conclusione che il valore pari al peso corporeo elevato alla potenza ¾ fosse la migliore base per la predizione della velocità del metabolismo basale (BMR) degli animali e per comparare i fabbisogni di nutrienti di animali di taglie diverse.Inoltre, pose le basi per la conclusione che l'efficienza totale dell'utilizzo dell'energia è indipendente dalla dimensione corporea. Questi concetti e parecchi altri fondamentali per la comprensione del metabolismo energetico sono discussi nel volume di Kleiber ("Il fuoco della vita"), pubblicato nel 1961 e successivamente tradotto in tedesco, polacco, spagnolo e giapponese.
