silage
Also known as ensilage, winter cattle fodder made from grass, corn, legumes, etc., by limited fermentation. The material is harvested when green, chopped and then stored in either a pit or a tower where air access can be carefully controlled. Lactic acid is formed from the carbohydrates while the loss of other nutrients is minimal.
