The material you see the cows in this video eating is mostly "haylage". Haylage is simply grass (forage) crop that has been havested and stored when at it's peak stage of production in regard to nutritional quality and quantity. Cows require a diet high in fiber which comes form a forage source (grass). Additional nutrients are mixed with the forage to balance energy, protien, and minineral requirements for the particular animal for the particuar stage of production or life.
