ABSTRACT
Four wilted grass silages (dry matter 280 g kg-1) varying in fermentation type were fed to rumen fistulated dairy cows to study the effect of silages on rumen fermentation. All additive treatments improved silage quality compared to untreated silage. Formic acid treated, restrictively fermented silage resulted in increased proportion of acetate, while the silages treated with Lactobacillus plantarum increased proportion of propionate of rumen volatile fatty acids.
