A heating pile of feed is a compost pile. A silage pile has been packed to express as much oxygen as possible, and will not heat for long before becoming anaerobic, and fermenting.
Is the silage not hot when it's fed?? Maybe not "hot" but pretty warm.
It gets exposed to oxygen as you feed it. It heats up as the microbes digest it.
Your animals will eat it before it all breaks down.
