Abstract:
The objective of this work was to evaluate the dietary supply with different levels of Florde
seda(Calotropis procera) on serum concentrations of GGT, AST, glucose, albumin, globulin and total
proteins in lactating goats. It was used 12 Saanen goats at 30 days of lactation, with live weight of 35.0 kg
and average daily milk production of 1 kg. The treatments consisted of a diet control and two another diets
supplemented with flor de seda (0; 100 e 200). The animals were individually fed and manually milked once
a day, early in the morning. The experiment consisted of three experimental periods of 18 days – 12 of
adaptation to the diet and two of blood and milk collection. The data were analyzed in four Latin squares 3 x
3 and the comparisons among averages were done by Duncan’s Test at 5% level of probability. The studied
serum metabolites were not influenced by treatments. The results of this experiment, allows us to conclude
that the studied levels of flor de seda were not capable of influencing negatively the hepatic or renal function
of lactating goats.
