      A subloop of a loop \(Q\) is said to be normal if it is stabilized by every inner mapping. The inner automorphism group can have, in general, many generators and when checking that a subloop is normal, one has to consider three families of generators. In this paper, the author studies the inner automorphism groups of Moufang loops and he proves that, in some cases, the inner mapping group is generated by the conjugation maps, thus reducing the number of generators one has to consider. The cases where the inner mapping group is generated by conjugations include all Moufang loops in which the subloop generated by the cubes is of index~\(1\) or of index~\(3\).
