Abstract

It ’ was studied the digestion capacity of 1/2 Breton and thoroughbred horses. They employed the total collection and chromic oxide methods. Different digestibility coefficients of dry matter were pointed out, according to breed. The 1/2 Breton lot showed higher apparent digestibility coefficients than the thoroughbred one. The total collection method values were significantly higher than those obtained by chromic oxide method (P ≤ 0,05) for both lots.
