Hay is grass, legumes, or other herbaceous plants that have been cut, dried, and stored for use as animal fodder, particularly for grazing animals such as cattle, horses, goats, and sheep.

Hay is also fed to smaller animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs.

Pigs may be fed hay, but they do not digest it as efficiently as fully herbivorous animals. (source)
