Aspects of using Manihot silage in the finishing of small ruminants: An integrative approach

ABSTRACT: This study identified ways of using Manihot silage to feed finishing goats and sheep. A review protocol was developed in which the search terms were previously tested based on the PVO strategy, to determine the guiding question, the population (P): finishing sheep and goats; variables (V) of interest: the use of Manihot silage; and the outcomes (O): the performance of animals fed Manihot spp. silage. The following guiding question was formulated: What are the impacts of using Manihot silage in the diet of finishing sheep and goats? The databases used were SCOPUS (Elsevier), Web of Science and Science direct, and the search was carried out until September 6, 2023. A total of 1,856 research articles were identified; however, only 13 were considered eligible for answering the guiding question for data extraction. The most used species were pornunça (Manihot sp.) in 46.15% of the articles, maniçoba (Manihot pseudoglaziovii) in 30.8%, and cassava (Manihot esculenta) in 23.06%. A total of 296 sheep and 51 goats were used in the studies. The use of silage from the plants of the genus Manihot showed to be a viable feeding alternative for finishing goats and sheep, with a high adaptive capacity in tropical regions.
