ABSTRACT
Twelve dairy buffalo heifers aged 12-15 months with a body weight of 220 kg, were used in a
randomized complete block design to study energy metabolism. The whole experiment consisted of
2 feeding trials with 20 d in-between interval, each including a digestion-metabolism trial. Animals
were assigned to three levels of dietary net energy. Digestibility and metabolizability of energy were
67.1-71.4% and 55.1-59.2%. Methane loss was 9.9-10.0% of gross energy intake, heat production
and heat increment were 0.534 and 0.203 MJ/kgW0.75/d, respectively. Net energy for growth was
between 23.2-29.1% of gross energy.
