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.
