This paper presents a practical alternative use for the prickly pear cactus as a principal component in the elaboration of multi-nutritional blocks (BMs) used to feed growing sheep. Sorghum, soy bean, urea minerals, and natural yogurt were added to the cactus, the mixture was fermented for two weeks at room temperature, and then the BMs were made consisting 25 % of the fermented mixture. Twenty weaned sheep with an average weight of 17 kg were randomly assigned to one of two groups (with or without BMs), and both were fed a typical diet for growing sheep. Feed intake, BM intake, and body weight were registered over a 57 day period. Body weight was analyzed statistically through ANOVA in a completely randomized design. No statistically significant differences were observed in body weight. BMs made with fermented prickly pear cactus were adequately consumed by the sheep.
