Summary: Forage production seasonality is one of the serious obstacles in the Brazilian livestock, which causes fluctuations in the animal production. The cultivation of forage for cutting, grass stocking piles and silage are alternatives to reduce the food shortage problem in the scarcity period. Among the plant species, elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Shum.) stands out due to its high yield forage and good acceptance by the animals. In this context, we aimed to evaluate the chemical composition of silage from elephant grass with soy molasses and enzyme-microbial inoculant addition.
