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.

Green fodder preserved without drying is called?

What is the importance of green fodder in dairy animals?

What is the megajuoles of energy of a silage?
The energy content of silage varies depending on what constitutes silage. Remember, silage is fermented chopped fodder that is often comprised of corn or barley, but sometimes also grass hay, and oats, wheat, rye, and triticale. Energy content also varies on when the fodder was cut for silage. For example, corn silage that was cut at a late-maturity stage will have less energy than corn silage cut when it was at early or mid-maturity.It is actually impossible to accurately predict or know what the energy content of silage is for all silage produced, and the energy content of a feedstuff like silage isn't measured in the same way that the energy (carbohydrate) content of a food item we would eat is. Energy is measured in Mcal/kg or Mcal/lb of DM (dry matter) or in percent (%) of DM, and as various values including Non Structural Carbohydrates, Net Energy, Metabolizable Energy, Digestible Energy, and Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN). As you can see in this paper, TDN and other energy values differ from one feed type to another.
