Chemical composition of sugarcane silage with different levels of calcium oxide and crude glycerin.

The use of sugarcane silage is a feasible option for shortage of forage in pastures, increasing the losses during the fermentation process. However, the use of additives is required due to the high level of soluble carbohydrates, as well as the large number of yeasts that promote alcoholic fermentation with high CO2 production, increasing losses during the fermentation process. This experiment aimed to evaluate the effects of calcium oxide and crude glycerin on the chemical composition of sugarcane silage
