Supplementation of dietary energy could reduce daily feed intake, decrease the feed/gain ratio, and increase intramuscular fat content. Based on broken-line regression analysis, the optimal concentrations of dietary energy for Sichuan White geese from 28 to 70 d was 12.56 MJ AME/ kg DM for minimum ADFI and 13.09 MJ AME/kg DM for optimum FGR, respectively.
