In order to investigate an effect of protein content in diet on the energy metabolism of chicks, day-old single comb White Leghorn male chicks were fed for the first 11 days on a commercial chick mash and for the subsequent 10 days on diet containing 22.0 % of cotton meal (cellulose diet) and diets substituted 17.0 % of cellulose with corn starch (starch diet) and soybean meal (protein diet) in cellulose diet, respectively. And birds were fasted for the following 3 days. Net energy for growth (NEg) and for maintenance (NEm) were measured by the analysis of body composition in initial and final day of experimental feeding, and in final day of fasting duration. Heat production (HP) was equal to metabolizable energy (MEn) intake minus NEg
