No, horses should not be fed silage. Silage is a fermented feed stuff and single compartmeted stomaced animals can not digest it properly. Horses fed silage can become very ill, colic and even die. Silage is meant for ruminant animals.
NEVER feed mouldy hay to horses( or mouldy pellets, grains or chaff) Horses will usually tell you if the hay is mouldy(unless they are very hungry) but not wanting to eat it. Dont confuse mouldy hay with silage or haylage, but be verycareful feeding silage and haylage to horses.
The spelling "silage" is used for livestock feed made from fermented alfalfa, oats, or maize.
The feed it eats (grass, hay, grain, silage). Grain and silage is higher in energy (in the form of fats) than other feed sources.
Silage.
Bake it so that all the moisture goes out of the feed. Then measure using a weigh scale. When you have both the weight of the feed before you bake it and after, you can calculate the % moisture in the feed.
Hay, primarily. Silage can also be kept in a manger. A feed trough or feed bunk is another word for a manger.
It's called silage, and it's not pickled, but fermented. In order to make silage, you have to have the feed compressed enough so that you're sure no air pockets are in the feed, then cover it up with plastic, not allowing any spaces under the plastic or even holes in the plastic. You could weigh it down with tires, bales or anything else heavy that can be spared to keep the silage on. Then leave it be for a few weeks to ferment before you feed it to cattle. The best plants for silage is barley, grass (with very little legumes), wheat, corn, and oats.
Alfalfa is a noun - it is a silage crop grown for animal feed.

No. Silage is one of the more popular feeds to feed cattle. It's like candy to them. And it's good for them too, especially for growing animals that need feeds that are high in energy and protein for them to grow on. Cattle LOVE silage, and no it's not bad for them at all.
