Efeito da suplementação com diferentes níveis de flor de seda (Calotropis procera) sobre as funções hepática e renal em cabras saanen.

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.
