two main groups out of four of cattle feed are-
i) Forages-Forage crops generally have a high fibre content and are usually used on the farms where they are grown. The exceptions are cereal straw and grass dried after cutting, which are traded and may be transported many miles. Cut grass can also be turned into silage by storing it in plastic sheeting, which excludes air and promotes fermentation of the sugars under anaerobic conditions. Silage can also be made from cereal crops such as maize and wheat, which are harvested whole and then chopped into fragments. Approximately 15 million tonnes of silage dry matter was produced in Great Britain in 2004.
ii) Cereals -These are feeds with a high energy and/or protein content. They may be fed to livestock on the farm where they are grown or bought in from outside, and may be fed either singly or as compound feeds
