• Abstract:

  The climatic conditions present in the semi-arid regions of the Brazilian

  northeast is a limiting factor for agricultural production. Research projects aiming to

  select forage species adapted to the region, forage conservation practices, correct

  use of water and soil, planting and propagation techniques for better coexistence

  with the semi-arid region results in a significant improvement in the biomass yield of

  these plants. In this context, some species stand out for their production capacity,

  adaptability to edaphoclimatic conditions and resistance to pests and diseases, as well

  as their nutritional qualities. Although it possesses a wide variation of its bromatological

  characteristics, due to diverse factors of culture, handling and analysis, maniçoba

  (Manihot pseudoglazovii) shows a forage with high nutritional values for animal feed. This

  study aims to provide a comprehensive overview, through a review of the literature, of

  the importance of this forage cultivation, conservation management, planting practices

  and forms and their forage potential for animal feeding in areas of semiarid Brazilian

  climate. A bibliographic review was carried out from the search for articles in the Scielo,

  pubvet database and the Google Scholar tool, which included information on important

  points such as yield, adaptability, bromatological analysis, toxicity, that is, important

  information for the management of nutrition applied to agriculture in the semiarid region

  of northeastern Brazil. We conclude that this forage, adapted to the semi - arid region

  in northeastern Brazil, is a good alternative for animal feed.
