Abstract: Ten healthy Zhongwei goat lactating ewes with the same parity and lambing date were chosen and divided into two groups randomly. The relationship between heat production and metabolic weight of test goats under normal physiological conditions was determined by using breathing mask method. The results showed that under normal physiological condition, the relationship between heat production and metabolic weight was: HP=569.24-12.93WaTs (R2=0.83).
