 ===Characteristics===<!----Write below this line--->
-Clovers are either white or red varieties.  Clovers and Lucerne (aka Alfalfa) have a higher protein concentration and a higher mineral concentration (e.g. calcium) than grasses.  Lucerne can be grazed or conserved as a monoculture.  Lucernes also have a higher protein concentration than grasses.  Legume silages tend to be more difficult to achieve a good fermentation, inoculants are usually required.

 ===Characteristics===
 Kale and rape are considered good, digestible fodder.  They have a higher protein concentration, carbohydrate concentration and calcium concentration than grasses.  Rape has a higher protein concentration than kale.

 ===Characteristics===<!----Write below this line--->
 Silage is a fermented crop with a low dry matter content.  It is cut at a relatively early stage of development and stored under anaerobic conditions (clamp or big bale).  Haylage is similar to silage but is often cut at a more mature stage and is typically baled.  Haylage has a higher pH and DM than silage and can often be of more variable quality.  With horses haylage is typically preferred (by owners) to silage.

 ===Characteristics===<!----Write below this line--->
 Straw (usually barley or oat for feed) can be treated with alkali, urea or ammonia.  It is commonly used as a roughage source for growing ruminants, and especially animals being reared in cereal beef systems.
