What does SILAGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Grass or other green fodder that has been compacted and stored without drying so it ferments and can feed livestock through winter.
Farmers cut grass, maize, or other crops while still green and pack them tightly into a silo or covered pit, where the absence of air lets natural fermentation preserve the silage. This process keeps much of the nutritional value of the fresh crop, unlike hay, which is dried before storage. Livestock farmers rely on silage especially in winter, when fresh pasture is not available for grazing animals. The word silage refers to both the process of making the feed and the finished product itself.
How SILAGE is used
Common in farming and agricultural writing about winter feed for livestock.
- The farmer filled the silo with fresh silage in autumn.
- Cattle were fed silage throughout the coldest months.
