Abstract: The energy intake and its loss through faeces, urine and methane of Capra hircus population in brush grassland ecosystem in northwest Sichuan province mountainous region are measured and quantities of energy in digestion, metabolism and net fat accumulation are calculated. Energy flows between green plants and Capra hircus population and its conversion efficiencies within a hectare of grassland are studied.
