Efeito da suplementação com diferentes níveis de flor de seda (Calotropis procera) sobre parâmetros sanguíneos e de leite em cabras saanen.

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the dietary supply with different levels of Flor de seda (C. procera) on serum concentrations of Total Protein, Albumin Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Cholesterol, were also evaluated milk compounds as acidity, density, fat and protein in lactating goats. It was used 9 Saanen goats at thirty days of lactation, with live weight of 35,0 kg and daily average milk production of 1 kg. The treatments consisted of a diet control and two diets supplemented with Silk flower (T1 = 100g; T2 = 200g). The animals were individually fed and manually milked once a day, in the early morning. 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 parameters: density, acidity and protein were within of the values considered as normal by Instrução Normativa n.51. The results of this experiment, allows us to conclude that the levels of 100 and 200g of Flor de seda can be used without damage milk production or physical-chemical characteristics.
