Fodder is just another term for forage or green silage. Silage is feed that is highly nutritious that dairy cattle need to produce milk and meet their maintenance needs as well. Dairy cattle have higher nutrient needs than most livestock except chickens and pigs, and this need must be met with green fodder or high quality forage in the form of silage and/or grain.

How much green fodder is required for a Holstein cow per day in KG?

That all depends on the type and consistency of this "green fodder," its nutrient quality/value, what you are feeding in addition to the fodder, the moisture level of the fodder, and, for the cow, the weight of the Holstein, if she's dry or lactating, what stage of lactation she is in (if she is lactating), and her age.

Is it true animals cannot live without green plants?

True. Even animals that eat other animals rely on green plants- since the prey animals eat green plants. And animals all need oxygen- which is given off by green plants.
