Wet feed, called silage, is a mixture of fermented alfalfa, barley, and/or oats. These feeds are usually mixed in with dry hay, vitamins, minerals and other supplements to create what farmers call a “ration”. This mixture is usually specific to their herd, and may change based on the recommendations of a nutritionist or veterinarian. Photo credit: Farm & Food Care SK
