The objective of the present study was to characterize the nutritional composition, fatty acid profile, and IgG concentration of the milk produced by Chilean Corralero horse (CCH) mares from breeding farms located in southern Chile. Forty-five milk samples were collected from three of the biggest breeding farms (coded as A, B and C) specialized in breeding and selection of CCH in Chile (15 mares sampled per farm). Farms differed in days in milk (DIM). A negative association between DIM and ash, milk protein, milk solids, saturated fatty acids (SFA), and gross energy (GE) was found, whereas DIM had a positive association with monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). Milk components like fat, lactose, and energy content varied independently of DIM, indicating other influencing factors such as farm-specific management practices. Offspring sex moderately affected GE content, with milk from mares bearing female offspring having higher GE. Macronutrient profiles of the CCH mares' milk were within the reported range for other horse breeds but tended to have lower fat and total solids. Compared to cow and human milk, horse milk is richer in lactose and lower in fat and protein. Immunoglobulin G concentration was only affected by the farm (B > A) which could be linked to dietary factors and pasture composition rather than maternal parity or other known factors. Overall, CCH mare milk has notable nutritional characteristics, with implications for both foal health and potential human consumption, posing less cardiac risk compared to cow's milk as indicated by lower atherogenic and thrombogenic indices.

| We express our gratitude for the generous support provided by the staff of the institutional labs: the Laboratory of Immunology, Facultad de Medicina, for analyzing IgG, and the Animal Production Institute's Laboratory, Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias y Alimentarias, for analyzing milk energy, both from the Universidad Austral de Chile; the Laboratory of Feeds and Food, for analyzing forage and milk components, and the Laboratory of Fish Nutrition and Physiology, for analyzing fatty acids, both from the Departamento de Ciencias Agropecuarias y Acu\u00ED- colas, Facultad de Recursos Naturales of the Universidad Cat\u00F3lica de Temuco. The authors are also very grateful to the staff of the three farms for aiding in sample collection, to the farm owners for granting permission to conduct this study, and to the mares for allowing us to take the samples. |
