“…Determining the potential of horses intended for use in classical equestrian sports requires an in-depth comprehensive study of their anatomical, morphological, physiological, and biochemical parameters, which play an important role in a particular type of motor activity and application. According to recent studies (Petrushko, Kabasova, 2018;Dynnikova et al, 2019), horses should be examined at least two or three times a week. This allows the detection of changes in their behavior at training loads and preventing respiratory diseases.…”

“…The quality of feeding of horses significantly affects the state of their health, shaping performance traits, including body type, maturing rate, and endurance (Dynnikova et al, 2019(Dynnikova et al, , 2020. It has been proven that a balanced diet determines the potential for the implementation of genetic merits by 50.0-55.0%, which determines further use and reproductive longevity of animals (Guanggang, 2012;Yegorov, 2017).…”

The successful development of horse breeding requires the search for new technological solutions, the use of which will improve the quality and reduce the cost of compound feed. At the same time, it is important to breed and maintain horses with high adaptive capacity, capable of withstanding the action of negative environmental factors without reducing their performance. Sport horses require special treatment and an individual approach in the selection of diet and breeding conditions. We investigated the effect of granulated feed containing alfalfa and mineral-vitamin complex. Haemoglobin level in the studied animals amounted to 152.6 g/L, 8.1% higher than in control peers. The 15.1% higher content of erythrocytes in blood in horses of the experimental group may indicate more intensive blood saturation. The analysis of variance revealed a significant and highly probable influence of feed on haemoglobin content, number of erythrocytes and leukocytes in the horses' blood, the share of influence for which was the greatest and ranged from 56.4 to 66.0%. It was found that the greatest positive correlation was observed between the amount of consumed dried alfalfa and the level of haemoglobin, colour index, number of erythrocytes and leukocytes in the blood of young horses (r=0.32 ± 0.10; 0.26 ± 0; r=0.43 ± 0.25; r=0.41 ± 0.09, respectively). It was also found that horses in the experimental group were more heat tolerant compared to the control group horses indicating their greater adaptability. The experimental horses' body temperature measured immediately after their walk was 38.2 °C, which was 0.8% lower than in the control group. One hour after the walk, their body temperature was almost the same as at rest (37.9 °C). In horses of the control group during the same period, the body temperature was 38.0 °C, which is 0.4 °C higher than their temperature at rest before the walk. The use in the diets of the studied animals of full-fed pelleted forages allowed raising animals of strong physiques, having more intensive metabolism and more pronounced adaptive and compensatory abilities in comparison with their peers of the control group.
