What are limitations of silage as conserved fodder?

Answer:
If the silage is exposed to any amount of oxygen, there is high potential for spoilage. When silage is spoiled, it cannot be used for livestock. Thus silage cannot be stored just anywhere, it must be stored in such a way that no oxygen is able to get into it. That enables the anaerobic bacteria to do their job and keep the silage as unspoiled as possible.
