Abstract
s / Journal of Equine Veterinary Science 35 (2015) 400e417 414 removed every 4h and urine removed after each urination event. Water was offered ad libitum and measured daily by subtracting the remaining amount from the starting quantity. DMI, urine and fecal dry matter (DM) output were also measured daily during each collection period. Measurements were averaged over the 4d collection period and intakes and outputs are reported as g/kg BW. Data were analyzed using PROC MIXED of SAS. P-values of 1⁄4 0.05 were considered statistically significant. When the overall F-test was significant, Fisher's LSD was utilized for pairwise comparisons. The results for each diet are reported in Table 1. Water intake did not differ between diets. DMI, urine and fecal DM output for beet pulp high (BPH) was lower than that of all other diets. DMI and fecal DM output for oat high (OH) and rice bran high (RBH) were lower than beet pulp low (BPL), oats low (OL) and rice bran low (RBL). These findings suggest that DMI and energy source affect outputs and provides preliminary data for further studies investigating nutrient excretion.
