The determination of water content in green fodder and silage is one of the most widely used in research on fodder used for feeding. The difficulties encountered in this type of analysis usually are related to incomplete separation of the product water, the product decomposition and loss of volatile substances. This study aimed to compare the methods for determining the water content using the furnace microwave and standard oven method in four cactus: cactus (ficus-indica Mill), mandacaru (Cereus jamacaru), facheiro (Pilosocereus pachycladus) and xiquexique (Pilosocereus gounellei). Once collected, the samples were treated (crushed and cut into pieces) and submitted to the two methods for determining the water content. The determination of the water content using the microwave oven is presented as a viable alternative to the conventional method of drying oven, the main advantages in reducing the energy consumption and a significant reduction in drying time which is 24-hour procedure using the stove and 18 minutes when the drying is performed by microwaves.
