N2  - A feeding experiment was conducted with 10 dairy cows of the Fleckvieh breed and the cross Red Holstein Friesian x Fleckvieh, to study whether feeding with grass silage at the morning meal and maize silage at the evening meal (treatment B: alternating forage allocation) affects forage intake and milk production, in comparison with combined feeding with these two silages at each meal (treatment A). In order to prevent a selective forage consumption in treatment A, the two silages were given as a homogeneous mixture of nearly equal portions (51.6 maize silage, 48.4 grass silage) of dry matter (DM). The experiment was of switch-back design, with the treatment
