Add to ORKGSeasonality of forage supply is a key contributor to the seasonality of meat and milk production. Conserving forages as silage or hay can help reduce the seasonality of feed supply. Forage conservation technologies make this contribution mainly through increases in the yield or quality of suitable crops, through an improved efficiency of the conservation process or by allowing a reduction in costs. Future research needs differ considerably among regions of the world
