Forage- High fiber plant part cut and preserved when a plant is in a younger stage of maturity. Thus the product is a higher quality (more digestible) than a roughage which is more mature (ripe) and indigestible.

Forage also refers to the habit of birds, especially chickens, to scratch on the ground in search of food.
