ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to evaluate the partial replacement effect on body measurements (body mass, muscle thickness, and fat thickness) of the concentrated fraction of foals' diet with a protein supplement containing whey protein, glutamine, and lysine during the post-weaning period. Eighteen Mangalarga Marchador foals were randomly divided into two groups in the post-weaning phase, with nine animals each in the control group (CG) and the group receiving protein supplementation (WG). Based on 4% of their body weight (BW), the CG animals received a diet with roughage to concentrate in a ratio of 50:50, which composed of Cynodon sp. hay and a 15% crude protein (CP) commercial horse ration. The WG diet consisted of the same amount of hay used for the CG diet, half the amount of concentrate used in the CG diet, and 102 g of a protein supplement containing whey protein, glutamine, and lysine. During the experiment, five evaluations were performed, starting on the day of weaning (day 0), followed by evaluations conducted at 7, 14, 28, and 42 days after weaning. Body measurements, body mass, and thickness of the fat and muscle layers were assessed at each time point. The substitution of a portion of the commercial diet with protein supplement containing whey protein, glutamine, and lysine did not cause changes in the weight gain or linear measurements of Mangalarga Marchador foals during the post-weaning period; however, the change in diet increased muscle thickness and decreased fat thickness when compared to animals in the control group.(AU)


Objetivou-se com este estudo, avaliar a substituição de uma parte do concentrado da dieta por suplemento proteico contendo whey protein, glutamina e lisina sobre medidas corporais, massa corporal, espessura muscular e de gordura de potros da raça Mangalarga Marchador durante o pós desmame. Utilizou-se dezoito potros da raça Mangalarga Marchador, divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos na fase pósdesmame, com 9 animais fazendo parte de Grupo Controle (GC) e outros 9 animais compondo o grupo que recebeu suplementação proteica (GW). Os animais do GC receberam uma dieta de proporção volumoso/ concentrado 50:50, considerando-se 4% do PV, composta por ração comercial com 15% PB e feno de Cynodon sp. A dieta do GW foi composta pela mesma quantidade de feno do GC, diferenciando-se na parte concentrada, que foi composta por 50% do concentrado oferecido ao grupo controle acrescido de 102g de suplemento proteico contendo whey protein, glutamina e lisina. Foram realizadas cinco etapas de avaliação de medidas corporais, massa corporal, espessura da camada de gordura e muscular, iniciando no dia do desmame (dia 0) e após 7, 14, 28 e 42 dias. A substituição de parte do concentrado comercial por suplemento proteico contendo whey protein, glutamina e lisina, não acarretou perdas em ganho de peso e medidas lineares de potros da raça Mangalarga Marchador durante o período de 42 dias após o desmame, mas promoveu ganhos em espessura muscular e diminuição de espessura de gordura quando comparados aos animais do grupo controle.(AU)
