Dry matter (DM) contents of 34 maize silage samples were determined by toluene distillation and oven drying at 100°C. The toluene distillation method gave values 3.5–18.9% higher than the oven drying method. A highly significant correlation was shown between toluene dry matter and oven dry matter and an equation toluene DM = 0.95 oven DM + 3.3 ( r = 0.95) presented which allows toluene dry matter to be readily estimated on a routine basis for maize silage.
