Intake of short versus long chopped grass silage was significantly higher. Digestibilities were similar. Significantly faster eating and ruminating rates and better rumination qualities allowed those higher intake levels. Circadian eating and ruminating activities were similar between species, however, duration of rumination cycles and extent of pseudorumination were different. Key words: Sheep, cattle, rumination quality, silage uptake
