The main objective of this study was to validate the use of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) as markers to estimate diet composition of equines fed with diets composed of herbaceous and woody species. Six crossbreed mares (434±59 kg LW) were divided in 2 groups and each group was fed one of two different diets: D1 100% Lolium perenne; D2 70% L. perenne + 30% heather (Erica spp., Calluna vulgaris). Diet composition was estimated from LCFA concentrations (C22 to C34) in diet and faeces, with (i.e. mean recovery rate of the dietary treatment that the animal belonged to) or without correction for incomplete faecal recoveries using least-squares procedures. Results showed clear differences in the LCFA profiles among diet components. LCFA faecal recovery was in general incomplete and tended to decrease with carbon chain length in a curvilinear fashion (P<0.001) and was affected by diet composition (P<0.001). Results also showed that diet composition was accurately estimated with or without faecal recovery correction in both diets, confirming the usefulness of LCFA as diet composition markers for studying diet selection of equines in diverse plant communities.
