The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional profile of captive calves of the Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis) feeding with four unconventional diets in relation to zootechnical performance, digestibility, blood profile and biometrics. Four individuals (2 males and 2 females), with an average weight of 28.95 kg and 8.75 months of age, were distributed according to a LCD (4x4), of 14 days / period and 7 days between periods (adaptation), they were feeding with the following diets: D1 (Milk matrix 25% - Nan ® 75%), D2 (Milk matrix 50% - Nan ® 50%), D3 (Milk matrix 75% - Nan ® 25%) and D4 (100% Milk matrix). The evaluated variables were: apparent digestibility (AD) and transit time (TT); total protein blood (TP), albumin (ALB), glucose (GLU), triglycerides (TRI), cholesterol (CHO), creatinine (CRE) and urea (UR); food consumption; body weight and biometric measurements: total length (TL), total curved length (TCL), circumference (CIR), fin width (FW), tail width (TW) and peduncle (PED). The obtained data were submitted to a one-way ANOVA and the means comparison was performed with the Duncan test, using the statistical software IBM SPSS 24.0. For comparative purposes, the PCA of the breast milk of two lactating mothers was performed during the 1st and 2nd semester of lactation and the same blood biochemical measurements were performed in a semi-captive infant calf. Regarding the zootechnical performance, the D3 showed the best feed conversion (p <0.05) and a higher rate of growth. Observational data from TT and CDA for infant offspring were reported. Regarding the blood values of ALB, PT, COL, TRI, UR, CRE and GLU, there were no significant differences between diets (p≥0.05). It can be concluded that the diet 3 (Milk matrix 75% - Nan ® 25%) presented a higher zootechnical performance; likewise no diet significantly affected the blood biochemistry remaining within the normal ranges previously reported for offspring of the Amazonian manatee.
