Chemical composition and energy value of the body, fatty acid composition of adipose tissue, and liver and kidney size in the horse.

摘要: A study was made of the chemical composition and energy value whole, empty body, relative size certain organs in 11 ponies ranging full-body weight from 81 to 259 kg. The fatty acid various adipose tissues examined three ponies.Ingesta-free body (Y) found be highly predictively related (r2 = 0·) (X) accordance with equation, Y 0·9678X–10·41. gastrointestinal contents constituted 9·65 ± 3·44% weight.Despite heterogeneous nature population small range fatness (6·6% 18·9% ether-extractable lipids body), 93·3 % variation concentration fat associated water. mean fat-free, contained 70·7 water, 22·6 protein 6·0 ash. Of weights fat, protein, ash energy, 97·0%, 64·5%, 91·0%, 85·2% 87·0%, respectively, were ascribable empty-body weight.For conglomerate calorific values 5·381 9·311 kcal/g, respectively.The ranges for percentage major individual acids five were: oleic, 29·5–33·3; palmitic, 26·1–28·0; linoleic, 17·1–24·0; palmitoleic, 6·2–9·5; linolenic, 3·8–10·2. In one animal depot fats relatively high concentrations (8·6–12·0 %) linolenic acid; palmitic linoleic correspondingly lower than those other horses.Tissue segments tract linear functions weight. About 87 82 liver kidneys
