Evaluation of Physical Structure. 1. Grass Silage

Journal of Dairy Science, 1993
Abstract Physical structure of 19 grass silages was investigated by measuring chewing activity with a group of eight cows for 4 d. Eating, ruminating, and total chewing indexes varied considerably among cows. Silages were made from perennial ryegrass different in growth stage at harvest, chopping lengths, and preservation methods. Eating index varied
