The aim of the experiment was to assess the effect of applying formic acid at ensilage or formic acid/formaldehyde to the standing crop of herbage before ensiling upon the subsequent digestion of the silages by Jersey heifers. Unwilted grass silages were made from perennial rye grass ensiled at a DM/22 kg with application of 2.22 liters/ton of formic acid and wilted grass silages was made by spray to the standing crop of herbage with 90 leters/ha of a solution containing 50 liter formalin, 500 ml of 10% Tween, and 2.5 liter water giving an application rate of 61 g formaldehyde/kg herbage crude protein
