ABSTRACT
The maize plants are the main source of forage for dairy cattle in Central Mexico. The objective
of this work was determinate fermentation rates in whole and plant structures by period, colour
and zone. The experimental design used was a split plot. Significant differences (P<0.05) were
observed in grain at 8 and 12 h by zone and colour. Leaves had significant differences (P<0.05) by
period. Results suggest that the fermentation finish before of 40 h then it has no case to continue the
fermentation until 120 h.
