Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain kinds of fodder and their nutritional roles, support planning, storing and feeding fodder, relay feed safety rules, and describe fodder production.

Food given to domesticated animals, especially livestock, as opposed to forage they graze themselves, including hay, silage, green feed, straw, root crops such as mangelwurzel, dried grass meal, corn-cob mix and compound feeds; fodder is produced on farms and industrially, stored to bridge seasons, and regulated for safety, contaminants and labelling.

What it is for: Food for livestock.

It can be explain kinds of fodder; support feeding and storage; relay feed safety rules; describe production.

Distinguishing features

What it looks like

Hay bales, silage, root crops and feed mixes.

How it is recognised

Food supplied to animals

Hay, silage, roots, meals

Forage is grazed in the field; pet food is for companion animals
