Abstract
This study presents an analysis of temperature changes in hay bales either untreated and treated with 0.2% solution of lactic acid. Samples of hay of different moisture content and different specific density were used in this experiment. It was observed that the additive decreased the temperature of the hay and its stability was achieved in a shorter time. In the experiment, the lowest temperature was obtained for the specific density of hay γk = 99.7 kg m-3 (the lowest density).
