The State of Piauí the fifth place among Brazilian states with 1.3 million head. Although the herd is expanding, it is not enough to meet current demand so Brazil imports lamb meat to supply the needs of the internal market (Rodrigues, 2011). In tropical regions of Brazil nutritional supplementation of animals during off season is very important so that the animals do not lose weight. The sunflower cake is a by-product industry and is inexpensive compared to soybeans and corn. So the aim of this study was to evaluate the growth of sheep kept on pasture supplemented with various levels of this byproduct replacing soybean meal.
