Abstract: 【Objective】 This research aimed to define the energy requirement parameters for Hu sheep and Dorper sheep hybrid F1 male rams in the late fattening period, to provide a theoretical basis of scientific supply of energy for this breed of sheep. 【Method】The experiment adopted comparative slaughter method, divided the general requirement into requirement for maintenance and requirement for growth. Adapted metabolizable energy requirement and net energy requirement of these two index systems were used to measure the energy requirements. A total of 42 Hu sheep and Dorper sheep hybrid rams at body weight close to 35 kg were selected, and 30 of them were used in the slaughter experiments. They were randomly divided into 3 intake level groups which were ad libitum group, low-restriction group and high-restriction group, to make their average daily gain reach to 350, 150 and 0g. All rams were slaughtered on 1st day (6n), 20th day (6n) and 42th (18n) day in order to get the retained energy value. Remained 12 rams were used in the digestibility experiment, the rams were divided into 3 intake level groups as comparative slaughter experiment, the recommended formulation was used to predict the methane production and heat production, and then following the above-mentioned results the calculated metabolizable energy intakes of 3 intake levels were 10.69, 11.99 and 12.33 MJ•kg-1 (metabolizable energy intake per kg ration).【Result】The experiment results suggested that the daily net energy requirement for maintenance (NEm) was 271.6 kJ•kg-0.75,the partial efficiency of use of ME for NE for maintenance was 0.66.The daily metabolizable energy requirement for maintenance (MEm) was 413.7 kJ•kg-0.75. Net energy requirements for growth ranged from 0.81-3.12 MJ•d-1 at 35 to 50 kg daily gain 0-400 g. Metabolizable energy requirements for growth ranged from 1.47-5.38 MJ•d-1 at 35 to 50 kg daily gain 0-350 g. The partial efficiency of use of ME for NE for growth was 0.55. 【Conclusion】This research systematicly defined the energy requirement parameters for 35-50 kg Hu sheep and Dorper sheep hybrid F1 male rams in the late fattening period, including net energy for maintenance, metabolizable energy for maintenance, net energy for growth and metabolizable energy for growth, and the results is closely to the domestic and foreign research on energy requirement.
