Abstract
Pure stands of timothy grass and red clover were cut and subjected to different pre-wilting regimens including watering, shadowing and wide-spreading to assess the separate effects of wilting time (0-52 h) and dry matter content (15-78%), respectively. After ensiling in silos with 4.5 L capacity for 115 d, the silages are currently being analyzed according to the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) schedule for distribution of carbohydrate and protein fractions and for the content of individual long chain fatty acids. Comparisons are to be made towards unensiled samples of the different pre-wilting regimens
