The effects of an intra-ruminal infusion of a mixture of methionine (7.0 g day-l) and sodium sulphate (6.7 g day-l) on the digestion of grass silage were examined in four sheep fitted with cannulas in the rumen and proximal duodenum. There were no significant (P z 0.05) effects of the infusion on th
## Abstract Four mature Suffolk Γ half bred wether sheep, fitted with rumen fistula and reβentrant cannulae at the proximal duodenum and terminal ileum were given in sequence, a control diet (diet 1) and that diet supplemented with either 20 or 40 g saliva salt kg^β1^ (diets 2 and 3 respectively).
Intact and rumen cannulated sheep were used to study the digestion of an artificially dried grass offered either in a chopped or a ground andpelleted form at energy intakes ranging from 1-3.2 x the energy requirement for maintenance. In each form of the grass the digestibility of all dietary constit
