Abstract

Summary This research has been carried out in order to study the effects of using dried sugar beet pulp (DSBP) instead of oats on the blood parameters and heart rate of horses during exercise. The research has been performed using the 4x4 Latin Square design. The trial was carried out over 100 days. Each of the 4 periods of 25 days consisted of 21 adaptation days and 4 sampling days. In the trial, 4 different kinds of concentrated feed, balanced for energy and protein, were given to the control group, a 12.5% DSBP added group, a 25% DSBP added group and a 37.5% DSBP added group. No difference was found in the heart rate and blood samples of the horses to which the exercise test was applied, with regard to levels of plasma lactic acid, glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride (P>0.05).
