Forage

Forage refers to the plants, such as grasses, legumes, and herbs, that are grown or found in the wild and used as feed for grazing livestock like cattle, sheep, and goats. It includes materials like hay, silage, and pasture plants that animals consume directly. Forage provides essential nutrients necessary for the health and productivity of these animals. It plays a vital role in sustainable agriculture, offering a natural, renewable source of nutrition that can be produced on farms without relying heavily on processed feeds. Proper forage management ensures optimal animal health and farm viability.
