Pith and bagasse are the by products of sugare cane that can be used in animal feeding. Due to low nutritional value of pith and bagasse, it is necessary to use additives with them. In order to this purpose two additives of molasses and urea were used in Pith and bagasse silages. The experiment was conducted to detcrmine proper amounts of molasses and urea for ensiling pith and bagasse. This study was performed based on factorial experiment in completely randomized design with three replications and 80 treatments. Treatments include pith and bagasse were ensiled with four leveles of molasses (0, 5, 10, 15 percent based on dry matter) and five leveles of urea (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 percent based on dry matter) at 45, 90, 135 and 180 days. The evaluated factors included of pH, crude protein, ADF and sensory evaluation. The results showed that increasing of urea and molasses percentage caused increasing and decreasing of pH silages, respectively. The silages with higher percentage of molasses had more suitable pH and sensory evaluation. According to results the best silages were those had 1.5-2 percent urea and 15 percent molasses (based on dry matter) which ensiled during 45, 90, 135 and 180 days. Key words: ensiling, pith and bagasse, mollases urea
