Summary In order to use herbs as feed for dairy cows at low cost, herbs which cultivated to oneself was made to silage and hay-lage (low moisture silage), and the aptitude was investigated. (1) Peppermint, lemongrass and oregano were suitable for silage, but sweetbasil, fennel and anise were not suitable. (2) Palatability to cows of peppermint and lemongrass improved by hay-lage rather than silage. (3) As for peppermint, the essential oil(cineole) content fell by silage. As for lemongrass, the essential oil(citral) content greatly fell by silage and hay-lage.
