ABSTRACT - The suitable evaluation of nutritional value of forages depends on the adoption of appropriatemethodologies. Forage quality is highly dependent of fermentation products, in case of silage, and the losses ofsoluble compounds and microorganisms activity in the case of hay. The theme “Methodological advances in evaluationof preserved forage quality” at the 44 th Annual Meeting of Brazilian Society of Animal Science has as main goals tohighlight the more useful and particular methodological procedures for conserved forages and additional to the standardchemical analysis.. Analytical procedures for preserved forage should suffer a standardization to permit comparisonsof results obtained by the world wide laboratories. This review brings to discussion the description and systematizationof important physical and chemical methods to be implemented in preserved forage evaluation. The methodologicalprocedures available permit not only quantify, but also permit qualify the losses occurred during preservation processand across the aerobic exposition of the roughage source during feed out. It suggests that the adoption of any managementstrategies for conserved forages may depend on an evaluation accordingly fit to the losses observed in the overallprocess.
