A noninteracting perfect fluid in general relativity has ∇μ​Tiμν​=0, so ρ˙​i​+3H(ρi​+Pi​)=0. If energy is transferred between species, source terms Qi​ appear and only their sum vanishes. The Friedmann equation still involves the sum of all component stress tensors because all components share one spacetime metric.
