“…A period of total faeces collection of six days followed. During this time the foals were kept in metabolic cages (Stillions and Nelson, 1968). Ten percent less of the concentrate and of the roughage were offered to the foals during the total faeces collection period when compared to the adaptation period, so that no feed would remain left.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of dried yeast in the diet of foals when replacing soybean meal to provide 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 of the main protein source. Two trials were performed. Trial one was done to evaluate the influence of yeast on the digestibility of the five diets. Ten foals were kept in metabolic cages and five diets were tested twice. The experiment was repeated a second time, with foals receiving a different diet so that every diet was tested 4 times on a different animal. The concentrate was offered in a level of 2% of the body weight and Chloris guaiana hay was offered as roughage in a level of 1% of the body weight. In a second trial thirty 'Brasileiro de Hipismo' foals, aged between 12 and 14 months, were used. They were kept on pastures of Cynodon dactylon c.v. Coastcross and Cynodon spp. c.v. Tifton 85, and the concentrate was offered twice a day in separate pens at a level of 2% of the body weight. The pastures were of good quality and the pasture availability was high. The experimental design was a 5 × 3 factorial (five levels of yeast and three groups of animals in different pastures), with two replicates/ treatment. The foals were weighed and measured every 28 days. Blood samples were collected at the end of the trial. The concentrate intake was measured daily. The pasture intake was measured through estimation of faecal output with chromic oxide and by the amount of acid detergent insoluble ash in the pasture, feed and faecal samples. The mean digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, crude energy and acid detergent fibre did not differ between the diets. A quadratic effect was observed for the digestibility of crude protein and neutral detergent fibre. Increasing the level of yeast in the diets did not have an influence on the average daily weight gain, heart girth gain, withers height gain, but linearly depressed the daily intake of the concentrate. However, the intake of pasture was not influenced by the different diets. The biochemical blood parameters total protein, albumin, globulin, urea, uric acid, creatinine, cholesterol, triglycerides, aspartate aminotransferase and gamma glutamyltransferase were not affected by increasing levels of dried yeast. It was concluded that dried yeast can be used as the only main protein source in the concentrate diets of 12 month old foals.

“…Foram utilizadas gaiolas metabólicas para eqüinos, que propiciaram a coleta separada de fezes e urina, desenvolvidas por STILLIONS e NELSON (1968), ajustadas por FURTADO e TOSI (1996) e com adaptações no coletor de urina e cocho. Foram utilizados cavalos castrados sem raça definida, com idade média de 6 anos.…”

Quatro ensaios de metabolismo foram realizados para obter informações sobre os valores de digestibilidade dos nutrientes na alimentação de eqüinos. Cavalos castrados, sem raça definida, com idade média de seis anos de idade foram usados. Nos experimentos foram testados: (1) cana-de-açúcar, (2) combinação de 59,0% de cana-de-açúcar e 41,0% de milho grão inteiro, (3) capim-elefante e (4) cana-de-açúcar com 1,5 % de uréia. O consumo médio de MS foi de 0,89; 1,11; 2,02; e 1,03% PV para cana-de-açúcar, cana-de-açúcar mais milho grão inteiro, capim-elefante e cana-de-açúcar mais uréia, respectivamente. Os valores de energia digestível para cana-de-açúcar, cana-de-açúcar mais milho grão inteiro, cana-de-açúcar mais uréia e capim-elefante foram 2361, 3382, 2060 e 1182 kcal/kg MS, respectivamente. Cana-de-açúcar e cana-de-açúcar mais milho grão inteiro são boas fontes alternativas de alimentos para os eqüinos. O capim-elefante e a adição de 1,5% de uréia a cana-de-açúcar apresentaram menor potencial nutricional como volumoso na alimentação de cavalos adultos.

“…In passing, I would like to call attention to the significant accomplishment of Stillions (1964) in devising a defined, or semi-synthetic, diet on which horses will maintain their weight and well-being, and which contains the following ingredients: casein, corn starch, cellulose, egg albumin, solka floc, mineral mix, corn oil, fat and water soluble vitamins, in the form of pellets.…”

SUMMARY An approach to stud farm management, utilizing the veterinarian as a member of an advisory team in addition to our traditional clinical medicine role is discussed. Requirements for this role by the veterinarian are enumerated and a list of the services provided is given. Nutrition of horses is discussed from the standpoint of the Ca/P ratio of the diet and of mineral requirements as determined by hair analysis. An experience with iodide goitre is described, while recent reports on the production of B vitamins by the horse and the effect of vitamins A and E on fertility are presented. RÉSUMÉ On envisage le role que peut jouer le Vétérinaire dans l'organisation d'un Haras, au titre de conseiller technique s'ajoutant à l'activité traditionnelle du médecin clinicien. Les qualifications exigibles du Vétérinaire pour remplir cette tache et la liste des services qu'il peut ainsi rendre sont passées en revue. L'alimentation du Cheval est étudiée en fonction du rapport phospho‐calcique du régime et des exigences minérales définies par l'analyse des poils et des crins. Une observation est rapportée illustrant les relations entre l'apparition du goitre et l'apport d'iode. Suivent des commentaires sur la synthèse des Vitamines B par le Cheval et sur les effets des Vitamines A et E sur la fécondité. Enfin une méthode d'analyse des rations alimentaires est décrite. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Die Führung von Gestüten mit einem Tierarzt als Berater, zusätzlich zu seiner traditionellen tierärztlichen Tätigkeit, wird beschrieben. Die Anforderungen für eine derartige Tätigkeit werden aufgeführt, und eine Liste der betreffenden Dienstleistungen wird aufgestellt. Der Autor diskutiert die Ernährung des Pferdes besonders in Bezug auf das Verhältnis Calcium: Phosphor und auf den Bedarf an Mineralstoffen, wie er aus Haaranalysen abgeleitet werden kann. Ein Auftreten von jod‐induziertem Kropf wird beschrieben. Neuere Erkenntnisse über die Produktion von B‐Vitaminen und über die Wirkung von Vitamin A und E auf die Fruchtbarkeit werden angegeben. Der Autor beschreibt auch eine Methode zur Futteranalyse. SUMARIO Se discute un acercamiento al manejo de la granja de cría utilizando al Veterinario como miembro del equipo consejero, en añadidura de nuestro tradicional papel de medicina clínica. Son enumerados los requisitos para llenar este puesto por el Veterinario. Se da la lista de servicios proveídos bajo este arreglo. Es discutida la alimentación de los caballos desde el punto de vista de la relación calcio‐fosforo de la dieta mineral y los necesidades de ellos son determinados por análisis del pelo. Es descrita una experiencia con la papera del yodo. Reportes recientes en la producción de la vitamina B en el caballo y los efectos de las vitaminas A y E en la fertilidad son presentados. Se describe una técnica para analizar la ración.
