RESUMO

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of mineral organic in the diet of foals, evaluating the bone mineral deposit of calcium and phosphorus, throughout biopsy and bone mineral density, measures of growing was also did measuring height withers and croup, thoracic circumference, knee, cannon and weight gain. Ten foals which approximated 10 and 13 months and almost 221 Kg weight each one were spread randomly into two treatments: diet with organic mineral and diet with inorganic mineral both with five repetitions for treatments. The diet were composed by 40% of roughage and 60% for concentrate, with was addition 3% of mixed mineral organic or inorganic. It was not detected any for consumption of diet, either for measures of growing and bone mineral concentration of calcium and phosphorus. Nevertheless, the average bone mineral concentration for organic treatment was better than mineral inorganic supplementation. However, the concentration in bone mineral was greater for organic treatment which was better for bone mineral density and weight. The bone deposition was better in 90 days of treatment. Therefore, the diet with organic mineral for foals probably better for bone mineral density and weight gain.
