What plant is fodder?
Fodder crops, on the other hand, include crops intended specifically to serve as livestock feed and enable the livestock owner to regulate the animals' food intake. These include some grasses, but mostly cereal crops like oats, corn, and wheat. Alfalfa is another common fodder crop usually used to feed horses.
