Energy requirement of Shanbei white cashmere goats during non-pregnancy was studied. Twenty-four Shanbei white cashmere goats during non-pregnancy aged 1.5 years were randomly divided into four groups with six replicates in each group and one goat per replicate. Goats were all fed at the same crude protein intake (74.0 g/d), and the measured digestive energy intakes of groups were 7.6, 8.3, 8.9 and 9.6 MJ/d, respectively. The feeding trial lasted for 40 d, including a 10-day preliminary trial period, then three goats in each group were selected for a 7-day digestive and metabolism test. The results showed as follows: the digestibility and metabolic rate of gross energy of the four diets in non-pregnant goats were (65.3?3.23)% and (54.7?3.16)%, respectively. Average daily gain of non-pregnant goats was increased linearly with the increasing of energy intake. Formulas of requirements for digestive energy and metabolizable energy of non-pregnant goats were DE (MJ/d)=0.507 0W^0.75+0.026 3 ADG and ME (MJ/d)=0.413 0W^0.75+0.024 5 ADG (DE was the digestive energy, ADG was the average daily gain, W^0.75 was the metabolic weight and ME was the metabolizable energy), respectively. In conclusion, proper levels of digestive energy and metabolizable energy in diets for Shanbei white cashmere goats are 9.17 to 10.14 MJ/kg and 7.70 to 8.60 MJ/kg (air-dry basis), respectively.
