Abstract:

Fodder or animal feed is any agricultural foodstuff used specifically to feed domesticated
livestock, such as cattle, goats, sheep, horses, chickens and pigs. Most animal feed is from
plants, but some is of animal origin. "Fodder" refers particularly to food given to the animals
(including plants cut and carried to them), rather than that which they forage for themselves
(see forage). It includes green chop, hay, straw, silage, haylage, compressed and pelleted feeds,
oils and mixed rations, and sprouted grains and legumes
