Sometimes the use of additives is important to maintain silage group feeds at certain quality standards. Within the scope of this study, it was aimed to investigate the potential of using chitosan and its gelatinized solutions prepared with acetic and lactic acid, which have non-toxic, antimicrobial, antifungal and biodegradable properties, as additives in corn silage. Chitosan and its organic acid solutions were applied to corn silage in two different ways. Chitosan was mixed into the silaged samples at the rates of 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0%. Additionally, gelatinized solutions prepared by adding 0.0%, 1.0% and 2.0% chitosan in 2% acetic and lactic acid solutions were sprayed on 10% corn silage. In chitosan groups, crude protein (CP), total digestible nutrients (TDN) and energy values (ME, NEL, NEM, NEG) were found to be higher than the other groups. CP values of NDF and ADF-insoluble residues (NDICP, ADICP) were found to be higher in the 2.0% chitosan group. Relative feed value (RFV) was found to be high in chitosan groups. Nutrients varied among all groups, but the correlation of variations between groups was not consistent. Ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) was highest in the 2.0% chitosan group. Butyric acid was detected only in groups with chitosan. The amount of lactic, acetic and propionic acid differed between the groups, but it was determined that these differences were not in proportion to the additive application rates. Mold was detected only in the control group and was not seen in the treatment groups. Enterobacteriaceae group microorganisms were not detected in the treatment groups. Yeast was mostly seen in groups containing chitosan. As a result, although chitosan and chitosan solutions caused positive changes in some parameters, they did not generally provide the desired level of improvement in terms of fermentative and microbiological quality.
