Resumen

This paper targets the quality of tifton bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.)
and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) hays in isoproteic and isoenergetic diets
on horse body biometrics. Six equines, between 6.5±0.5 years old
and with an mean body weight of 354±50kg, were used in this study.
The treatments consisted of six diets and the experimental delineation
was the Latin square (6x6). The diet’s forage was composed by a
combination of hays, in a factorial scheme (2x3), with two forages
(tifton bermudagrass and alfalfa) and three types of hay (A, B and C).
There was a significant effect in the variables body weight, abdominal
girth, fecal water content, and fecal production for the forage type.
Greater digestibility coefficient of dietary dry matter values were
identified in the diets composed by type A and B alfalfa hay
(64.71±2.38% and 63.45±2.41%, respectively), that have significantly
surpassed (P = 0.0061) the results obtained for the type C hay diets. It
was possible to conclude that the alfalfa hay provided a reduction in
the horse’s body weight and thoracic perimeter, what can be explained
by the greater verified digestibility, as well as the lesser fecal water
retention with the diets containing only the legume.
