Abstract

The objective was to perform a review of the derived products from babassu (in the form of cake and meal) that are used as substitutes for traditional foods in diets of livestock animals of interest, where it was possible to prove its effectiveness when used at appropriate levels in the diet, because most of the studies analyzed there was no compromising on performance, carcass yield and productivity of animals or being a good option as alternative food, since food is one of the factors that limit breeding because of the high cost.
