A. de  aNutritional performance, hepatic and renal function in goats fed diets containing detoxified castor cake at different stages of pregnancy.h[electronic resource]  c2022  aAbstract: We evaluated the influence of the substitution of soybean meal by detoxified castor cake on performance, digestibility of nutrients, nitrogen balance, hepatic and renal functions of pregnant goats fed with diets containing detoxified castor cake by alkaline solutions during the stages (first two-thirds and final third) of pregnancy. Three diets were provided: one based on soybean meal and the other two based on castor cake detoxified with whit calcium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide. Goats fed detoxified castor cake sodium hydroxide had lower consumption. Was no effect (P&gt0.05) of diets or stages on the digestibility of dry matter and nutrients. The goats that received the diets based on soybean meal and detoxified castor cake calcium hydroxide consumed larger amounts of nitrogen. The goats fed with diet the basis of SM had greater weight in the parturition day. The average levels of enzymes for hepatic and renal functions were within normal patterns. Of enzymes related to liver metabolism, only the gamma-glutamyl transferase increased in the final third of pregnancy. The present study demonstrated that detoxified castor by sodium hydroxide reduces the consumption of goats during gestation, but did not affect negatively the renal and hepatic parameters.  aAnimal production  aBiodiesel  aByproducts  aDairy goats  aDigestibility  aRicin  aRuminant nutrition  aSaanen  aAlimento Para Animal  aCabra Leiteira  aCaprino  aDieta  aDigestibilidade  aNutrição Animal  aAnglo Nubian  aFinal third1 aNEIVA, J.
