Abstract
Using the in vivo nylon bag technique with 3 fistulated cows we examined dry matter disappearence (DMD) in each of five varieties of Dactylis glomerata, Festuca pratensis and Phleum pratense. The reason that there were no more cases of significantly justified differences in individual varieties and individual cuts is that the values were pretty variable, as the three values for each sample were obtained from three different cows. In the average of all cuts we ascertained that in the case of Dactylis glomerata there were autfstanding in the DMD the varieties S-26 and Mommersteeg's Kropaar, in the case of Festuca pratensis the varieties Beemdlang bloem Combi and S215, and in the case of Phleum pratense the variety B-10 Institute Botinec-Zagreb. It has been emphasize that the examination of digestibility should be done during all the stages of the breeding programme, and it the practical determining the values of different varieties in should be taken as a most important criterion.
