KEY WORDS:

SUMMARY:

The search for sustainable and cost-effective feed alternatives has encouraged the use of unconventional ingredients in ruminant diets, such as Moringa oleifera, a plant with high nutritional value and adaptability to semi-arid regions. This study will be conducted at the Federal Institute of Ceará, Campus Crato, to evaluate the inclusion of pelleted moringa as a partial substitute for soybean meal in growing sheep diets. Thirty-six animals will be used, distributed into four treatments (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% substitution of soybean meal by pelleted moringa) in a completely randomized design. Diets will be isoenergetic and isoproteic, composed of corn silage and concentrate. Variables to be measured include initial and final body weight, dry matter intake, average daily gain, and feed conversion. Statistical analysis will be performed using ANOVA and Tukey’s test (5%). The study aims to assess the potential of pelleted moringa as a viable and sustainable alternative for sheep feeding.
