Digestibility and Number of Bites and Chews on Hay at Fixed Level in Hokkaido Native Horses and Light Half-bred Horses

Digestibility and Number of Bites and Chews on Hay at Fixed Level in Hokkaido Native Horses and Light Half-bred Horses

Hokkaido native horses (HH) were compared with light half-bred horses (LH) for digestibility and the number of bites and chews when fed non-chopped timothy hay at 90% of the maintenance level in the pen. Apparent digestibility of nutrient and energy in HH were similar to those in LH. The time budget...

Zusammenfassung:Hokkaido native horses (HH) were compared with light half-bred horses (LH) for digestibility and the number of bites and chews when fed non-chopped timothy hay at 90% of the maintenance level in the pen. Apparent digestibility of nutrient and energy in HH were similar to those in LH. The time budget of eating by HH per day was shorter than that by LH (P
