    Solution

    Silage is essentially “pickled pasture,” or fodder that’s been fermented to feed cattle or sheep during dry seasons. Grasses or other crops, such as rye or maize, are cut, fermented and compressed until they’re ready to be fed to the livestock. Silage is stored using plenty of moisture, which allows it to retain a higher percentage of nutrients than a dry storage option.
