Abstract

Timothy was field-wilted and ensiled in plastic-tube silos either untreated or treated with formic acid or a cellulase-hemicellulase preparation (enzyme). This study showed that first-cut timothy, field wilted to 350 g kg−1 DM, can be stored as a medium- to good-quality silage without using formic acid or enzyme as an additive. Key words: Silage composition, intake, digestibility, volatile fatty acids
