Non-shivering thermogenesis is the production of metabolic heat without shivering, and is caused by diet and muscle activity during movement. Non-shivering thermogenesis is the primary pathway for heat production in mammals and birds, and is more efficient than shivering thermogenesis.Shivering is only used as a last resort, once an individual has exhausted the ability to generate metabolic heat.hivering thermogenesis is used to heat the body when it becomes too cold. Shivering is usually triggered by exposure to cold environmental temperatures, but the temperature set point that triggers shivering varies among species and individuals.
