Most grain is produced in farms that are in the earth's temperate zones. Earth has two temperate zones. The Northern temperate zone stratches from the Arctic Circle to the Tropic of Cancer. The Southern temperate zone ranges from the Tropic of Capricorn to the Antarctic Circle.
Rye (Secale cereale) is a grain and forage crop (10). In Europe most rye production is for bread grains (8). However, Canada and the US grow rye for both grain and forage, with Canadians growing mostly grain (8) and US farmers dedicating less than half their rye to grain (7).
AnswerAccording to this website, the taste test of grain-fed beef versus grass-fed beef leaned in favor of the fully foraging cows."In the past we believed that beef needed at least 45 days of grain feeding to achieve proper marbling. Most cattle are routinely fed between 100-200 days in a dry lot environment with no access to the natural forage diet. In 1996 we participated in a taste test at the University of Missouri's Forage Systems Research Centre near Linneus, Missouri. There were five selections: 1) Beef finished on 100% confinement full grain diet, 2) Beef finished on a 75% grain, 25% forage diet, 3) Beef finished on a 50% grain, 50% forage diet, 4) Beef finished on a 25% grain, 75% forage diet, and 5) Beef finished on a 100% forage diet."Grain-fed beef would contain less nutrients, since the grain must be processed, therefore taking portions of the energy out of it. However, since the cows are directly eating the grass, the nutrients would all be preserved and given directly to the cow.

A balanced diet of mainly hay with supplemental grain is better. A sedentary horse fed a good quality hay may not require grain but will benefit from the addition of free choice salt and mineral supplements.

Zero to ten pounds of grain per pound of beef. Cattle raised on forage alone (grass and hay, zero grains) produce a very lean, usualy tough, and somewhat 'grassy' tasting beef. Animals raised on forage for the first 12-18 months, and fed adequate grain and forage for 8- 12 weeks within a limited area will produce a better quality of meat, usually select or choice. Prime beef is fed unlimited grain along with dried forage, kept as stress free and quiet as possible, and slaughtered at the optimum time resulting in tender, well-marbled, rich beef.
Fodder is just another term for animal feed or feedstuffs. Fodder can also be called forage, grain, hay, silage, etc.
Hay (forage) and grain if they need it. Each horse's diet should fit them specifically based on their needs.
Huge regions of temperate grasslands are used for growing grains. This is because grain crops are all grasses, and therefore thrive in the rich soil there. Temperate grasslands are also used to sustain vast amounts of livestock that graze on the grasses.
Neither. It is an annual plant that is more of a grain, like corn or oats.
I think they're here all year round except in summer for around two weeks when they forage for grain in nearby fields.
