A dataset of grasses and respective silages was collected by systematically varying the harvesting time in primary growth (n = 27) and in regrowth (n = 25). The swards were mixtures of timothy and meadow fescue. The grasses were ensiled unwilted with formic acid. Fixed or mixed regression procedure of SAS was used to investigate the relationships between composition of grasses and respective silages and to develop regression equations for predicting silage in vivo organic matter digestibility (OMD) from herbage pepsincellulase organic matter solubility (OMS). The silages were well preserved showing only limited amounts of secondary fermentation products. The silage dry matter (DM), crude protein and neutral detergent fibre contents could be...
