The aim of this work was to assess the effect of supplementation with an inert material treated with the physical technology SIRIO OPERATING PROCESS® on the haematological parameters and on amino acid and electrolyte profiles in horses trained at an effort request of medium intensity. Eight horses were divided into 2 homogenous groups. The study design will comprise 2 phases during which horses of group 1 will be treated with SOP GO HORSE for 60 days while the animals from group 2 will compose the control group. During phase II groups will be inverted. Results reported in the present expanded abstract include the observed variations of the assessed parameters during the first half of phase I. Blood cell count, haematochemical parameters and electrolyte profile were analysed. Haematic samples were obtained before the study begun (baseline T0), after 40 days of treatment for blood cell count and after 30 days for haematochemical and electrolyte profiles. Statistical analyses were performed using repeated measures ANOVA or nonparametric Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney‘s tests. Differences were found regarding leukocytes, monocytes, LDH plasmatic concentration, albumin, γ-globulin and plasmatic concentrations of potassium, chloride and calcium. Treating horses with SOP GO HORSE could have beneficial effects on haematic and haematochemical parameters both concerning hydration and muscle metabolism.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to assess the effect of supplementation with an inert material treated with the physical technology SIRIO OPERATING PROCESS® on the haematological parameters and on amino acid and electrolyte profiles in horses trained at an effort request of medium intensity. Eight horses were divided into 2 homogenous groups. The study design will comprise 2 phases during which horses of group 1 will be treated with SOP GO HORSE for 60 days while the animals from group 2 will compose the control group. During phase II groups will be inverted. Results reported in the present expanded abstract include the observed variations of the assessed parameters during the first half of phase I. Blood cell count, haematochemical parameters and electrolyte profile were analysed. Haematic samples were obtained before the study begun (baseline T0), after 40 days of treatment for blood cell count and after 30 days for haematochemical and electrolyte profiles. Statistical analyses were performed using repeated measures ANOVA or nonparametric Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney‘s tests. Differences were found regarding leukocytes, monocytes, LDH plasmatic concentration, albumin, γ-globulin and plasmatic concentrations of potassium, chloride and calcium. Treating horses with SOP GO HORSE could have beneficial effects on haematic and haematochemical parameters both concerning hydration and muscle metabolism.
