Summary: Silage of legumes is an alternative to increase the protein level in animal diets. Although presenting high nutritive value, legumes generally have bad characteristics for an adequate fermentation (Tabacco et al., 2006). A common practice is the use of additives to improve the quality of the ensiled material. So, the objective of this work is to evaluate the effect of commercial tannin addition on fermentation characteristics and losses during the soybean ensiling process.
