Summary

In a series of feeding trials, measurements were made of silage drymatter (DM) content and pH, animal live weight and intake of DM other than silage. Silage intake has been related to these measurements by multiple regression. Subsequently, within the recorded ranges of the variables used, good predictions have been made of silage intake by large groups of cattle.
