The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of formic acid or acetic acid on chemical composition and in situ dry matter (DM) degradation of whole crop barley silage. The forage (35% DM) was ensiled as untreated (UT) or treated with formic acid (3.4 or 6.8 ml/kg DM; F3 or F6, respectively) or acetic acid (3 or 4 ml/kg DM; A3 or A4, respectively) for 30 days (n=4). Silage extract pH was determined using pH
