The effects of maturity stage and chopping length of maize silage on chewing behaviour, particle size reduction and rumen retention time were studied in four lactating cows fitted with a ruminal cannula, according to a 4 $\times$ 4 Latin square design. Maize silage made up 80% of the diet and the cows were fed at 90% of the ad libitum intake level. Chopping length had only a significant effect on the particle size of the maize harvested at the late maturity stage. For the latter, the proportion of particles larger than 2 mm (LP2) from the feed to the rumen content decreased from 73 to 38% for the coarse maize and from 58 to 37% for the fine maize, mainly by ingestive mastication. Eating time expressed per unit of feed intake did n...
