Fodder is animal feed taken to the animal instead of allowing the animal to forage for what they need for survival. Common fodders plants include alfalfa, clover, grass. corn and sorghum. Where livestock numbers exceed the acerage available for forage they are essential. They become increasingly essential during the winter when snow cover can prevent access to forage.
Hay and silage are major forms of fodder preservation, however the use of pellitized or cube products with a higher protein level created by adding edible oils and grains to the hay and sileage is used in all industrialized nations. A modern dairy farm could not operate without it and still provide fluid milk on a year round basis. The same is true of broiler and egg production facilities.
