In a switchback experiment, twelve mature Thoroughbreds were randomly divided into three
groups; each group was fed to achieve moderately low (ML), moderate (M) or moderately …

In a switchback experiment, six mature mares were fed a control and a fat-supplemented
diet while being exercised in a galloping regimen. After three weeks adaptation to each diet …

In a repeated switchback experiment, 6 miniature horse geldings, with body condition scores
ranging from 3 to 8, were exercised regularly and fed on diets containing a roughage to …

Eight Thoroughbred horses were used in a repeated measures, crossover experiment in
which horses were fed a fat supplemented and control diet. On Days 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28 …

Low muscle glycogen at the beginning of exercise may adversely affect performance,
increase protein degradation and contribute to the onset of fatigue. As horses are sometimes …

Carbohydrate (CHO) stored in the form of skeletal muscle glycogen is the main energy
source for glycolytic and oxidative ATP production during vigorous exercise in mammals. In …

Summary Six mature Quarter Horse-type geldings were used in a replicated 3× 3 Latin
square experiment to determine the effects of adding 5 or 10% feed-grade rendered animal …

Two groups of 3 horses each were fed on a control diet of ground hay and concentrates or a
similar diet with 10.5% added fat. The horses were trotted to a heart rate (HR) of 160 …

This study was designed to determine the effects of fat adaptation on carbohydrate and fat
oxidation in conditioned horses during low‐intensity exercise. Five mature Arabians were …

The purpose of this study was to develop a model of muscle glycogen depletion and to study
the effect of this model on aerobic and anaerobic capacity of horses. The maximal rate of …
