1. silage

   Silage is a type of fodder or animal feed resulting from the fermentation of green foliage crops that have been stored under conditions that encourage anaerobic bacteria action, typically in a silo. This preservation process helps maintain the nutritional value of the crops for feeding livestock during winter months or periods of drought. Commonly used crops for silage include corn, sorghum, and grasses like alfalfa and clover.

1. Silage

   Silage is fermented, high-moisture stored fodder which can be fed to ruminants or used as a biofuel feedstock for anaerobic digesters. It is fermented and stored in a process called ensilage, ensiling or silaging, and is usually made from grass crops, including maize, sorghum or other cereals, using the entire green plant. Silage can be made from many field crops, and special terms may be used depending on type. Silage is made either by placing cut green vegetation in a silo, by piling it in a large heap covered with plastic sheet, or by wrapping large bales in plastic film.

1. Silage

   the name given to green fodder, vegetables, &c., stored in stacks or pits (or silos) under heavy pressure, the process being known as ensilage. The practice of thus preserving green crops for fodder dates from earliest times, but its general adoption in Britain only began in 1882 since when its spread has been rapid. Originally the process in vogue involved slight fermentation, resulting in "sour silage," but in 1884 it was found that by delaying the application of pressure for a day or two a rise of temperature took place sufficiently great to destroy the bacteria producing fermentation, the result being "sweet silage." Both kinds are readily eaten by cattle.

   Currently in 2015 silage is used as a fodder for animals and to contribute to the creation of biofuel, perhaps in the future as science and technology evolves there will be other uses for it.

Examples of silage in a Sentence

1. James Carville:

   The Democratic constituency is just like a herd of cows. All you have to do is lay out enough silage and they come running. That’s why I became an operative working with Democrats. With Democrats all you have to do is make a lot of noise, lay out the hay, and be ready to use the ole cattle prod in case a few want to bolt the herd.
