Silage

Silage is fermented, stored fodder made from high-moisture crops like grasses or corn used to feed livestock, especially during times when fresh forage isn't available. The process involves chopping the plants and storing them in airtight conditions, where natural fermentation preserves nutrients and prevents spoilage. This fermentation, mainly involving lactic acid bacteria, creates a stable, nutritious feed that maintains its quality over months. Silage is an efficient way to provide livestock with a consistent, high-energy diet, and proper preparation is essential to ensure it remains safe and nutritious for animals.
