Propionic acid treated grain (oats) in the diet of horses

Abstract: Use of oats treated with propionic acid in horse feeding was investigated in a 48-day feeding trial. Twenty horses were divided into a control and an experimental group. Horses in the control and experimental groups were fed with hay and dry or propionic acid treated oats, respectively, according to their energy requirements. The influence of the diet on health, faecal microflora, haemoglobin and haematocrit values, blood serum glucose concentrations, and weight change was investigated. The state of the health… Show more

“…The other parameters were within the ranges reported for healthy Finnhorses [27,28,29], but the WBC value declined numerically in the garlic supplemented horses. It is not possible to draw any conclusion from this, but WBCs increase in the case of inflammatory diseases [30].…”

“…It is not well‐established whether use of additives can delay onset and/or speed of deterioration in haylage bales after opening, but as propionic acid has been successfully used for preservation of moist hay (Buckmaster & Heinrichs, 1993; Coblentz, Coffey, Young, & Bertram, 2013; Easson & Nash, 1978; Nash & Easson, 1977) and moist grain (Jones, 1970; Saastamoinen, 1994), it is of interest to investigate also for use in haylage. Use of propionic acid has also been reported to increase aerobic storage stability in silage (Crawshaw, Thorne, & Llewelyn, 1980).…”
