Extract

The digestibility values of forages have long been recognised as an important parameter affecting both milk yield and growth of ruminants. Several methods (in vivo and in vitro) are used to determine digestibility of forages. The aim of this experiment was to determine the effect of chemical composition of silages on the in vivo and in vitro DMD of maize silages.
