The objective of this study was to present a theoretical contribution, through a review of the literature, under some parameters in the use of corn silage for beef cattle. Demonstrating the production prospects and importance that maize represents for animal feed. With a growing demand for maize production in order to meet the needs of the growth of feedlot systems, there are factors that contribute with greater importance in the use of grains in the elaboration of diets in the bovinocultura, being considered as the main source of energy in diets of beef cattle. As the beef production scenario becomes increasingly competitive, demonstrating its efficiency in the digestibility and raising production rates, presenting satisfactory results regarding feed efficiency and carcass composition as shear force, pH, color, sensorial softness, succulence and taste of the meat and increase in the lipid content in the meat of the animals receiving diets of corn grain silage, besides reducing the transport and storage expenses, concentrating the grinding operation. Tus, the present review deals with the feasibility of using corn silage, because it is one of the few practices that can achieve low costs in relation to conventional corn silage, combined with high nutritional quality, especially with a high response rate with the objective of maximizing the digestibility of the starch, being this the characteristic of greater evidence.
