Abstract

The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effects of supplementary feeding β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate, HMB) on athletic performance and plasma biochemical indices of Yili horses. Twenty Yili horses with the similar body weight[(384.11±25.44) kg] and aged 2 years old, were divided into 4 groups with 5 horses (3 +2♀) in each group, the training method and intensity were consistent. HMB was not supplementary fed in the control group, but 7.5, 15.0 and 22.5 g/d HMB were supplementary fed for each horse in the test groups Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ. The trial lasted for 31 days. A 2 000 m speed race was performed on the 31st day of the experiment and blood samples were taken. The results showed as follows:1) supplementary feeding HMB could short the time of the Yili horse 2 000 m speed race. 2) Compared with the control group, the plasma phosphocreatine kinase activity of the test group Ⅱ was decreased by 12.48% (P<0.05); the plasma lactate dehydrogenase activity of the test groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ was decreased by 7.38% (P<0.05) and 13.51% (P<0.01), respectively; the plasma lactic acid content of the test groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ was decreased by 11.91% (P<0.05) and 19.57% (P<0.01), respectively. 3) Supplementary feeding HMB had no significant difference on the plasma glycometabolism indices and cholesterol contents of Yili horses (P>0.05). Therefore, supplementary feeding HMB can decrease the plasma phosphocreatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase activities and lactic acid content. HMB can be used as a nutrient regulator to alleviate exercise horse fatigue or promote fatigue recovery after exercise. The best supplementation level of HMB is 15.0 g/d per horse.
