Effect of balanced vs. standard protein on muscle mass development in exercising horses.

Twelve horses weighing 570 ± 35 kg were split into two groups (standard protein, , and balanced protein, ) to evaluate the effect of balanced vs. unbalanced protein on muscle mass. Groups were fed grass hay and a 12% CP feed (one formulated for balanced protein).

Timing of feeding a protein supplement on nitrogen balance and plasma amino acids during exercise recovery in horses.

Eight geldings weighing 544 ± 16 kg were used to evaluate feeding a postexercise protein meal on plasma amino acids during recovery. Horses were fed sweet feed, corn, grass hay and equal amounts of a protein pellet (32% CP) with meals (MP group) or postexercise (EP group). Horses exercised 1-2 h/day, 5 days/week, for 12 weeks.
