| Summary: | (P<0.05) mean serum osteocalcin concentrations on d 0, 70, 84; however, normalized concentrations indicated that alfalfa hay protein to support growth in young horses. The also contained 13% CP. Intakes between pairs were equalized and fed at 60:40 grain-to-hay ratios. Physical measurements and rump fat were collected every 28 d. Radiographs of the coastal bermudagrass hay and concentrate supplemented with concentrate without soybean meal so that their total diet d 70 (P<0.05) and d 84 (P<O. 1). but normalized daily gains and all RBAE values were not affected (P>0.05) by determined during the last 4 d of the trial. Average feed did the ALF-fed fillies. The ALF-fed fillies had higher diet. The SBM-supplemented fillies gained more forearm and digestibilities, Ca and P absorptions as percent of intake, faster rate is not clear. for the entire trial. Results indicated a moderate rate of Group 2 was fed a diet of alfalfa hay and a similar growth by both groups, with physical measures being heart girth circumference and more rump fat (P<0.05). than however, growth differences may occur at the tissue level inconclusive in regard to the use of either protein source; intake was 6.2 kg/d/filly for both diets. Average energy left Mc3 were taken on d 0 and d II 2. Blood samples were nitrogen concentrations were higher in the ALF-fed fillies on observations would be applicable to horses growing at a osteocalcin in the SBM-fed fillies went up or remained at osteocalcin. Calcium, P and nitrogen balances were randomized, block experiment to determine the efficacy of randomly allotted to each diet. Group I was fed a diet of remained below zero throughout the trial. Blood urea Sixteen Quarter Horse yearling fillies were used in a 112-d soybean meal such that their total diet contained 13% CP. taken every 14 d to determine blood urea nitrogen, Ca, P and when physical measures are not affected. Whether these yearlings were paired according to weight and age then zero, while concentrations in the ALF-fed fillies dropped and |
