Forage is an edible part of the plants that are harvested for feeding livestock. It is an important component of agroecosystems and contributes significantly to world food production. It is rich in vitamins, fibers and proteins and enhances metabolic activities of animals. It helps in milk production, which is achieved by maintaining the rumen health of animals. It improves eggshell formation, fluid balance and hormone production among various poultry farm birds. Besides this, it also prevents soil erosion, aids in keeping sediment out of waterways, reduces weed development, purifies air and water, mitigates greenhouse gas impact and provides wildlife habitat.
