本研究旨在研究果寡糖（FOS）和甘露寡糖（MOS）对成年马营养物质消化率、粪便pH值、挥发性脂肪酸组成及免疫功能的影响。在4x 4拉丁方设计中使用4匹成年纯种马，给药期为20天。为期12天的适应期之后是为期6天的粪便收集和为期2天的血液采样期。给药4种不同的治疗：1）对照（不补充FOS或MOS; 2）30 g FOS/d; 3）30 g MOS/d; 4）15 g FOS+15 g MOS/d。粪pH值和挥发性脂肪酸组成在各处理间差异不显著（P > 0.05）。各处理间养分消化率差异不显著（P > 0.05）。伊加、IgG和IgM水平在治疗组间差异无显著性（P > 0.05）。与对照组相比，果寡糖、MOS或FOS+MOS补充剂不影响成年马的肠道健康和免疫系统。
This research was performed to study the effects of fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) and mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS) on nutrient digestibilities, fecal pH and volatile fatty acids compositions, and immune function in adult horses. Four adult Thoroughbred horses were used in a 4x4 Latin Square design with 20-day treatment periods. A 12-day adaptation phase was followed by 6-day collection of feces and 2-day blood sampling phases. Four different treatments were administered: 1) Control (no supplemental FOS or MOS; 2) 30 g of FOS/d; 3) 30 g of MOS/d; 4) 15 g of FOS+15 g of MOS/d. There were no differences among treatments in the fecal pH and volatile fatty acids compositions (P > 0.05). Nutrient digestibilities did not differ among treatments (P > 0.05). Also, no differences were found in the IgA, IgG, and IgM levels among the treatments (P > 0.05). Fructo-oligosaccharides, MOS, or FOS+MOS supplementation did not affect gut health and immune system in adult horses compared to control.
