AB  - The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of ensiling corn harvested at the milk stage by addition of various amount of Molasses (M), Urea (U) and Urea + Molasses (UxM) on quality, <I>in vitro </I>Organic Matter Digestibility (IVOMD) and Metabolic Energy (ME) contents. Five silage samples from 16 treatment groups were prepared in 1 l jars and incubated for 70 days. The ME values and IVOMD with lactic acid levels of 1% U added silages were higher compared to other silages. It has been concluded that either unsupplemented or 1% U added ensiling will be a suitable ensiling technique to corn.
