Ensilages are a type of feed stored for livestock in silos and can also be used as organic manure. They are commonly made from corn, grass, or other plant matter that is chopped and stored in an airtight container. Synonyms for ensilages include silage, fodder, haylage, and cut forage. Silage is the most common synonym for ensilage and is often used interchangeably. Fodder is a term that generally refers to any food given to livestock, including hay and silage. Haylage is made from partially dried grass, and cut forage can be any type of harvested plant material that has been chopped and stored in a silo for later use.
