Silage
Silage is fermented, high-moisture forage to be fed to ruminants, cud-chewing animals like cattle and sheep. It is fermented and stored in a structure called a silo. Silage is most often made from grass crops, including corn (maize) or sorghum. Silage is made from the entire plant, not just the grain.

Silage can also be made from many other field crops, and other names (oatlage for oats, haylage for alfalfa) are sometimes used when this is done. Sometimes a mixture is used, such as oats and peas.
