Shorttitle: Fodder or animal feed is any agricultural foodstuff
used specifically to feed domesticated livestock such as cattle,
goats, sheep, horses, chickens and pigs. Most animal feed is from
plants but some is of animal origin. "Fodder" refers particularly
to food given to the animals (including plants cut and carried to
them), rather than that which they forage for themselves (see
forage). It includes hay, straw, silage, compressed and pelleted
feeds, oils and mixed rations, and also sprouted grains and
legumes.Forage is plant material (mainly plant leaves and stems)
eaten by grazing livestock. Historically the term forage has meant
only plants eaten by the animals directly as pasture, crop residue,
or immature cereal crops, but it is also used more loosely to
include similar plants cut for fodder and carried to the animals,
especially as hay or silage. While the term forage has a broad
definition, the term forage crop is used to define crops, annual or
biennal, which are grown to be utilized by grazing or harvesting as
a whole crop
