Abstract

The current work was made in an experimental Campus of "Dr. Francisco Maeda" University at Ituverava-SP Brazil, with the proposal of avaliaty the percentages of dry material, raw protein and nitrogen in silage of elephant-grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum) cv. Napier with different kiuds of additives. The delineate used was totally casual, with six treatments (T): T1: silage + 0.5% of urea; T2: silage + 10% of MDPS; T3: silage + 10% of soy bran; T4: silage + 10% of corn bran; T5: silage + 10% of wheat bran; T6: standard, with three repetition. Considering the obtained results, was verified that the percentages of dry material (%MS) didn’t show significant differences between the treatments. But for the percentage of raw protein (%PB) and nitrogen, the treatment that used 10% of soy bran in the silage of elephant-grass, showed results of 15,47% and 2,47%, respectively.
