How much silage does a dairy cow eat daily?
Please provide more information. How many animals are we talking about here? How long are they being fed? Is this on a per-day basis, or is it on a per-month or per-year basis? What is their average body weight and rate of intake in terms of pounds per day? What kind of silage (i.e., grass, barley, corn, wheat, etc.)? What is the moisture content of the silage? All these questions should be answered before we can actually answer the question properly.
What are the benefits of making silage?
Silage is high-moisture and high-nutrient, which makes it optimal for feed (but is easily spoiled if oxygen is allowed into the storage silo) Silage is also used in anaerobic digestion, where the silage is fed to anaerobic digesters such as Methanosarcina and A. wodii to harvest biogas, which can be then used to generate electricity and heat.
Moldy hay can be fed to a horse when?

What is a crop chopper?
A "crop chopper" if I understand what you are referring to is a machine used to harvest various crops usually for use as cattle feed. They are typically called forage harvesters or corn choppers. While they can cut and process corn for silage, they can also be set up to chop alfalfa and many other forages that would typically be fed to cattle as silage. Silage is the finished product after being put in a pit and fermented. Hope this is what you meant.
