Digitaria eriantha silage, ensiled when the plants were in the late flowering stage (March), was fed ad lib to mature, non?pregnant, dry Hereford cows from mid?May to mid?September. The average daily gain during a 98?day feeding period was 0,35 kg/cow. The estimated quantity and quality of the daily dry matter intake corroborated the positive mass gains.
