Abstract

In order to sift the best energy level of complete feed of lactation Xi'nong Saanen dairy goats,36 healthy Xi'nong Saanen dairy female goats with the similar body weight(50.56±0.76) kg,parity(2-3),delivery date,milk yield(2.12±0.10)kg/d and body condition were randomly divided into 4 groups.Diet with the energy level of 12.53、12.80、13.07 and 13.19 MJ/Kg were fed to the four groups respectively.The whole experiment period was 63 days with the pre-feeding period of 7 days.The result showed,along with the increase of diet energy level,both of the quatity of feed intake and milk yield went up first and then down.Moreover,the goats fed with 12.8 MJ/Kg energy diet got the most diet intake,and the goats fed with 13.07 MJ/Kg energy diet got the highest milk yield.In addition,different energy levels had no significant effect on the milk composition and the blood index.
