Abstract: 【Objective】 This experiment was conducted to investigate different dietary levels of metabolizable energy and crude protein on performance of Lingnan Yellow-Feathered Broiler Breeders. 【Method】 A total of 1 134 30-week-old Lingnan Yellow-Feathered Broiler Breeders were randomly assigned into 3×3 factorial dietary treatments with 3 dietary metabolizable energy (ME) levels at 11.09, 11.51, and 11.92 MJ•kg-1 and 3 crude protein (CP) levels at 15.5%, 16.5%, and 17.5%. Each dietary treatment had 6 replicates with 21 birds per replicate. Experimental birds were fed 130 g of diet per bird every day. Growth performance, laying performance, and egg incubation indicators were determined. The trial lasted for 10 weeks.【Result】Broiler breeders fed       11.92 MJ•kg-1 ME diet had significantly greater weight gain and lower FCR (feed intake/egg mass ratio) when compared with birds of other ME groups (P<0.01). However, CP levels had no significant influence on weight gain and FCR of broiler breeders (P>0.05). An increase in dietary ME from 11.09 to 11.92 MJ•kg-1 of diet significantly improved egg production, average egg weight, and daily egg mass (P<0.05). Diet containing 16.5% CP or 17.5% CP significantly increased the average egg weight and reduced the egg breakage of broiler breeders (P<0.05) compared to 15.5% CP treatment. There was a significant interaction between ME and CP levels on unqualified egg percentage and hatchability (P<0.05). Chick birth weight was significantly improved by dietary 11.92 MJ•kg-1 ME and 16.5% CP treatments when compared to 11.09 MJ•kg-1 ME treatment and 15.5% CP treatment, repectively (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】The results indicated that the optimal dietary ME and CP level for Yellow-Feathered Broiler Breeders at 30-39-week of age was 11.92 MJ•kg-1 and 16.5%, respectively, whose ME and CP requirements as units per hen per day was estimated to be 1.55 MJ and 21.45 g, respectively.
