The effect of ad libitum intake of a hydroelectrolitic and energy replenisher on clinical and laboratory variables in six adult healthy male Mangalarga Marchador horses were assessed in the present study. The experiment was conducted in two sessions. The first session consisted in gait exercising. In the second session, water or a hydroelectrolitic replenisher was used as treatments. Two experimental cycles were conducted. There was an interval of seven days between the first and second cycle. In the first cycle, all six horses underwent gait exercising. Then, the hydroelectrolitic replenisher was supplied to three animals (replenisher group), and to the other three animals water was given (control group) during a six hour period. In the second cycle, the same six horses were submitted again to exercise, but exchanged their groups. Clinical (heart and respiratory rates, rectal temperature and volume intake) and laboratory evaluations (Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-, Mg++, P, urea, creatinine, CK, GOT, pH, PCV, cHbV, pO2V, pCO2V, ctCO2V, cHCO3-V, cBaseV, sO2V) were performed at T0 (immediately before the beginning of exercise), T1 (immediately after exercise), and T2, T4 and T6 (two, four, and six hours after the treatment began, respectively). Gait exercising promoted a decrease in the concentration of all electrolytes analyzed and generated metabolic alkalosis. The replenisher tested led to a satisfactory effect, correcting fluid and electrolyte imbalances along with the metabolic disorder caused by exercise by the end of the treatment period.
