Résumé : | The objective of this work was to evaluate the intake and apparent digestibility of nutrients of elephant grass forages, alfafa and coast-cross grass hays in adult horses. Eighteen adult Mangalarga Marchador maras were alloted to a completely randomized design with three treatments that consisted on diets with the folowing forages : T1 - elephant grass, T2 - alfafa hay, T3 - coast-cross grass hay. The aniamls were fed ad libitum fed twice a day. The experimental period was constituted by a phase of eight days for diet adaptation and a phase of five days for total collection of feces. There were no differences of forage dry matter intake, with average values of 6.27 kg DM, 68.41 g DM/kg 0.75 or 1.51% LW. The average coefficients of apparent digestibility of elephant grass and alfafa and coast-cross grass hay were 43.10, 55.20 a,d 49.80% for DM, 41.60, 53.40 and 47.90% for gross energy, 24.60, 71.20 and 56.10% for crude protein and 40.60, 35.50 and 63.30 for neutral detergent fiber. |
