A trial with an orthogonal design method was conducted to determine the metabolizable energy and crude protein level of Hetian chicks. The male and female chickens were randomly divided into 9 experimental groups and fed in 4 phases (16 weeks). The results of feeding trials showed that sex and age affected the optimum energy and crude protein levels. The nutritional level of diet had a significant effect on body weight and daily gain (P<0.05).
