Sumario:In neutrino experiments the dominant contribution to the total uncertainty of the neutrino flux comes from the modeling of hadron interactions. Thus, hadron production measurements are necessary to better constrain the neutrino beam. As part of NA61/SHINE research programme, hadron production measurements for T2K and Fermilab neutrino experiments were performed. These include measurements of the inelastic and production cross sections governing neutrino parent particle production as well as hadron spectra measurements at the surface of replica targets. In this contribution both activities and obtained results will be presented.
