L. R.  aManiçoba for sheep and goats - forage yield, conservation strategies, animal performance and quality of products.h[electronic resource]  c2022  aIn dry regions worldwide, providing feed for ruminants has been a great challenge, with a need to use plants which contribute to the resilience of production systems. Maniçoba is seen as a potential forage resource in the Brazilian semiarid, being used as hay or silage to feed ruminants. This review summarized results regarding forage production of maniçoba, in addition to dry matter (DM) intake, productive performance, and quality of animal products obtained providing maniçoba based diets, when compared to diets composed by other roughages for goats and sheep. Considering the evaluated studies, the average yield of maniçoba varied from 367 to 1,592 kg DM ha-1, enhancing the forage yield by increasing plant fertilization and planting density. Diets based on maniçoba promoted similar or higher intake of DM and productive performance for goats and sheep, when compared to diets comprising other forage resources. The quality of animal products was also similar to the ones obtained with diets based on traditional roughages, such as Tifton 85 hay or spineless cactus. Therefore, maniçoba allows a forage production that may contribute to ruminant production systems in semiarid environment and promote productive performance and animal product quality compatible to the ones provided by traditional forage plants.  aCyanogenic glycosides  aForage  aForage crops  aManihot  aAlimentação Na Seca  aCaprino  aForragem  aManiçoba  aOvino  aAlternativa forrageira  aDesempenho produtivo  aMandioca silvestre  aPlanta cianogênica  aRecurso forrageiro1 aALVES, F.
