With the aim of evaluating the high moisture corn silage (HMCS) and its association with additives in broilers chicken diets, 720 one-day-old male chicks Ross were distributed in split-plot considering the main treatments in the factorial scheme 2x3 in randomized blocks, 2 HMCS levels: 0 and 50%; and 3 additives: growth promoter, symbiotic and without additive, with four replications. The ages (21, 42 and 49 days) were secondary treatments. The absence of additive or symbiotic use showed the worst performance compared to the growth promoter, without alteration in carcass and parts yield. Independent of the additive, the HMCS can substitute 50% of the DS without affecting the performance, carcass and parts yield, besides not interfering gastrointestinal tract development and decreasing the production cost, although it promotes an increase of abdominal fat deposition.
