The aim of this study was to evaluate the replacement of Tifton 85 hay ( Cynodon spp.) by manicoba hay or silage ( Manihot glaziovii Muell. Arg) on sheep intake and performance. Twenty-four male Santa Ines animals were used, with initial body weight of 19.77 ± 1.95 kg and average age of 160 days. The animals were distributed in three treatments (Tifton 85 hay-TH, Manicoba hay-MH and Manicoba silage-MS), arranged in a randomized blocks design, with 8 replicates per treatment. The feedlot period lasted for 71 days. The means of the variables were tested by Tukey’s test at 5% probability. Sheep fed MH presented higher dry matter intake (p > 0.05) than those fed TH (1.17 kg day -1 vs 1.06 kg day -1 ). Neutral detergent fiber intake was higher (p > 0.05) for MH-fed sheep (0.394 kg day -1 ) when compared to MS (0.340 kg day -1 ). The digestibility of total carbohydrates was higher (p > 0.05) for MH diet (0.71 g kg -1 ) than TH (0.67 g kg -1 ). The average daily gain and body weight at slaughter did not differ (p > 0.05) among treatments. Manicoba hay or silage can replace Tifton 85 hay in sheep diets.
