Perennial ryegrass was ensiled in three different ways: (1) with a formic acid with formalin silage additive at 4)0 l/t; (2) with an addition of 50 kg/t ground barley; and (3) no-additive. Formic acid with formalin produced well-fermented silage, which, when subsequently given to lactating dairy c

Data from four experiments conducted at ADAS Liscombe Research Centre during 1977-1982 were used to compare unwilted silage treated with either formic acid (FA), a complex formic salt (FS) and formic acid with formalin (FF) with non-additive-treated silage (C), made from herbage with dry matter (DM)
Data from seven experiments conducted at ADAS Liscombe Centre during 1980-1983 were used to compare formic acid with formalin-treated unwilted (FF) and wilted silage (WFF) with wilted non-additive-treated (W) silage made from herbage [dry matter (DM) of 172 g/kg and water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC)
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** The general goal of organic dairy farming is to minimize purchased concentrate use and focus on milk production from forages. The aim of the present paper is to examine the influence of a partial substitution of purchased concentrates with homeβgrown maize silage on feed
