Description
Summary:	The variations of chemical composition, and occurrence of fungi in Tifton 85 bermudagrass hay stored in the field or under shed for 30 days were evaluated. The desing used was completely randomized design with plots subdivided by time with two storage systems, four assessment periods. After 30 days, crude protein was reduced and acid detergent insoluble protein (ADIP) contents increased, with low occurrence of fungi Aspergillus, Rizophus, and Cladosporium and high occurrence of Geotrichium, Phoma, Penici- llium, and Diploccocum. Avaliou-se as variações de composição quí- mica e ocorrência de fungos no feno de Tifton 85 armazenado à campo ou em galpão por 30 dias. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado em parcelas subdivididas no tempo, com dois sistemas de armazenamento e quatro períodos de avaliação. Verificou-se que, dentro de um curto período de tempo (30 dias), houve redução da PB e aumento da PIDA com baixa ocorrência de fungos Aspergillus, Rizophus e Cladosporium e alta ocorrência de Geotrichium, Phoma, Penicillium e Diploccocum.
