Abstract

Kukuruz predstavlja izvrsno energetsko krmivo, lako je dostupan i ima relativno nisku cijenu. U suvremenoj hranidbi konja njegova upotreba često je ograničena ili se izbjegava dok je u prošlosti upotreba kukuruza u hranidbi konja bila češća. Zbog svoje visoke energetske vrijednosti, podložnosti fermentaciji, spore probavljivosti i manjka vlakana, kukuruz se reducirano koristi u hranidbi konja i zamjenjuje ga zob. Zob osigurava stabilniju razinu energije, bolju probavljivost i smanjuje rizik od metaboličkih poremećaja. U ovom radu opisat će se razlozi za i protiv upotrebe kukuruza u hranidbi konja te mehanizmi razgradnje kukuruza u probavilu konja. Izvor energije u kukuruzu predstavlja škrob koji se nalazi u endospermu zrna kukuruza. Upoznat će se suvremeni načini obrade kukuruza i njegov potencijal kao visoko energetskog krmiva u hranidbi različitih kategorija konja.

Abstract (english)

Corn is an excellent energy feed, easily accessible, and relatively low in cost. In modern horse nutrition, its use is often limited or avoided, whereas in the past, the use of corn in horse diets was more common. Due to its high energy value, susceptibility to fermentation, slow digestibility, and lack of fiber, corn is being phased out in horse feeding and replaced by oats. Oats provide a more stable energy level, better digestibility, and reduce the risk of metabolic disorders. This paper will describe the reasons for and against the use of corn in horse feeding, as well as the mechanisms of corn breakdown in the horse's digestive system. The source of energy in corn is starch, which is located in the endosperm of the corn kernel. Modern methods of corn processing will be introduced, along with its potential as a high-energy feed in the diets of different categories of horses.
