RESUMO

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of castor meal on fetal development and metabolic response in goats. Thus, 60 goats were fed from mate to sixty days of gestation three different supplements containing castor oil before or after detoxification. All females were synchronized by CIDR for 5 days and mated for 72 hours. Fetal development was analyzed by ultrasound from 25th to 60th days after mate. Measurement of plasma levels of urea, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were performed on days -15, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 after mate. No significant differences were found for embryo/fetal development parameters and for urea and GOT when groups were compared. By contrast, LDH and GGT concentration differed between treatments, but values were within the limits of specie. It was concluded that use of castor meal, before or after detoxification did not affect the fetal development or metabolites pattern in pregnant goats.
