Grain was sampled at harvest for the determination of oven
DM at 1008C. Silage and concentrate intakes were recorded
daily for the duration of the study. Silage DM intakes were
calculated as described by Keady et al. (1994). Grain
treatments were sampled daily for the determination of
oven DM at 858C and dried samples were bulked weekly for
the determination of crude protein (CP), acid-detergent
fibre (ADF), neutral-detergent fibre (NDF) and gross energy
(GE). A further composite sample of fresh grain from each
