ConclusionsM. Oleifera fed at 2-3 Kg DM day -1 improve DMI
and Milk Yield in Cows.
Pigs fed with M. Oleifera have less AWG and more
Feed Conversion than fed with CC, but could be
profitable.
When fed P. maximun as basal diet M. Oleifera can
increase DMI and AWG in sheep.
IntroductionThe aim of this study was to asses the effect ofMoringa oleifera as supplementary fodder for cows,
pigs and sheep and its effect on their productive
variables.
MethodThree experiments were performed with 6 dual
purpose Reyna Creole breed, 36 castrated pigs and
18 sheep pelibuey blackbelly.
Cows were fed with Brachiaria brizantha hay + 1kg
Sugar cane molasses as basal diet; threetreatments were performed just basal diet, + 2 kg
DM Moringa and + 3 kg DM Moringa.
Three treatments were performed with pigs, 100%
commercial concentrate, 70% cc + 30% Moringa
and 52% cc + 48% Moringa based on Dry Matter.
With sheep Panicum maximun was used as basal
diet, then one treatment was only basal diet ad
libitum and the others were + 0,35 kg DM Moringa
and + 0,50 kg DM Moringa.
Intake, Average Weight Gain, Feed Conversion, Milk
Yield and Milk Composition were measured.

kg DM and 3 kg DM ofMoringa were significantly
