| Chewing behaviour of 23 lactating Swiss Fleckvieh cows was analysed in order to evaluate the predictivepotential for quantitative dry matter intake in a roughage-based indoor cattle feeding system. Cowswere fed total mixed rations (TMR) based on silages and hay with different concentrate supplements.They were kept in a tie stall enabling individual feed intake measurements. Two measurements wereconducted within one month. Chewing behaviour was recorded with RumiWatch®sensor collars, basedon pressure tubes in the collar’s noseband.
