Summary: Aerobic stability can be defined as the resistance of silage to deterioration after the silo opening (Jobim et al, 2007).After air exposition, the silage deterioration starts resulting in substantial loss of dry matter (Woolford, 1990), due to fungi and bacteria interaction activity. The temperature increase after the silo opening is consequence of the reactions promoted by filamentous fungi, yeast and aerobic bacterias (Bernardes et al. 2007). According to Driehuis et al. (2001) aerobic stability is the time for the silage, after the silo opening, to show a 1ºC increase related to ambient temperature. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of glycerin inclusion on the aerobic stability of corn silage.
