Twelve cows were given rations containing silage of maize chopped at 6 or 24 mm. The ratio of silage to concentrate was 1:1 on a DM basis. The type of silage did not affect the digestibilities of DM, organic matter, ether extract, nitrogen-free extract and energy in the rations. The starch digestibility of the ration containing 6 mm-cut silage was higher but crude fibre digestibility was lower than that of 24 mm-cut silage.
