A summary of growth rates of Thoroughbreds in Kentucky

Abstract: SummaryOver a three year period (1993, 1994, and 1995), a total of 350 Thoroughbred colts and 350 Thoroughbred fillies in Central Kentucky were weighed monthly on a portable electronic scale through 1B months of age. Wither height and cond tion score were also measured in about half of the foals. In order to estimate mature body size ln these horses, 472 brood mares were weighed 60 to 90 days after foaling. In addition, 25 Thoroughbred breeding stallions were also welghed. The average body weight of the brood … Show more

“…The Tb foals' average WH in this study closely matched those reported previously (Ruff et al, 1993;Thompson, 1995;Pagan et al, 1996). The averaged WH at 12, 18 and 24 months (146, 151 and 154 cm) were similar to the data presented by Thompson (1995) and Anderson and McIlwraith (2004).…”

“…Os animais do grupo 10 nascidos no inverno e na primavera foram maiores e mais pesados que aqueles nascidos no verão. Estes resultados corroboram os encontrados por Heusner (1992) e Thompson et al (1994), mas divergem dos descritos por Pagan et al (1996). Os animais que nascem no inverno e no início da primavera eram filhos de éguas que entraram em atividade reprodutiva e conceberam no início da estação reprodutiva e, portanto, estavam em boas condições nutricionais e sanitárias, o que, provavelmente, proporcionou melhores condições para a gestação.…”

“…Alguns pesquisadores (Jones, 1987;Yamamoto et al, 1993;Heusner, 1992;Thompson et al, 1994;Pagan et al, 1996) afirmam que a taxa de crescimento nos machos é geralmente maior que nas fêmeas. Como os machos desta população, exceto garanhões, são castrados aproximadamente aos 24 meses de vida, esperava-se que o efeito de sexo não influenciasse o desenvolvimento dos animais após os dois anos de idade, pois, segundo Heusner (1997), a castração não influencia o desenvolvimento dos animais.…”
