Using by-products added to grass silage in the total mixed ration (TMR) silage form can bring advantages to the ensiling process, raising DM levels, absorbing moisture, and improving the silage&rsquo:s chemical composition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of babassu by-products&rsquo: inclusion substitution for corn in Guinea grass silage in the total mixed ration as an alternative feed for ruminants. The experiment was a completely randomized design with four treatments (silage) and five replications (silo). There was a significant difference in the fermentation profile and losses of silage (p <: 0.001), some organic acids (lactic and butyric acids, p <: 0.001), and the percentage of lactic acid in fermentation products (LA:FP, p <: 0.001). The TGS showed the highest average for the variable&rsquo:s maximum temperature (p <: 0.001) and hours/max temperature (p = 0.011). Babassu by-products could eventually replace 50% of corn in total mixed rations silage containing Guinea grass, meeting the suggestion for the total mixed ration silage.
