## Abstract Dry matter (DM) contents of 205 silages were determined by toluene distillation and oven drying at 100ยฐC. The toluene distillation method gave values up to 11% higher than the oven drying method, the largest differences occurring with silages of high volatile fatty acid concentration, l
Ethanol is a common, usually minor fermentation product in ensiled forages, the major product being lactic acid. Occasionally, high levels of ethanol are found in silages. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of high-dry-matter (DM) grass silages containing ethanol as the main fermen
