The aim of the study was to evaluate the inclusion of ricinoleic acid deriving from castor oil as an additive in equine diet on glycemic and insulinemic response. Eight adult Criollo horses, weighting 362.12±16.15 kg, were randomly allotted to four treatments according to a balanced 4×4 Latin square design: 0 g of ricinoleic acid per day; 1 g of ricinoleic acid per day; 2 g of ricinoleic acid per day, and 3 g of ricinoleic acid per day. The data were subjected to an analysis of variance. To assess glycemic and insulinemic response, blood samples were obtained at -30, 30, 90, 150, 210 minutes based on morning feed, always on the 11th day of the experimental period. Quadratic effect was observed (P<0.05) when related to glucose and insulin concentration. In conclusion, addition of ricinoleic acid influenced glycemic and insulinemic responses of equines.
