Silage making is the process by which green/immature plants are harvested, stored and allowed to ferment for the purpose of feeding the fermented vegetation to livestock. This feed was originally loaded into silos to allow to ferment, but today can also be stored in large sealed plastic bags.

What are limitations of silage as conserved fodder?
If the silage is exposed to any amount of oxygen, there is high potential for spoilage. When silage is spoiled, it cannot be used for livestock. Thus silage cannot be stored just anywhere, it must be stored in such a way that no oxygen is able to get into it. That enables the anaerobic bacteria to do their job and keep the silage as unspoiled as possible.
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.
