Fermenting feed is something I've had in the back of my mind to do since before we started homesteading. The initial learning curve of the animals' care and then having to unexpectedly move set back that goal, however with the feed expenses skyrocketing the time is now.
As the title suggests, you save money because the animals need less feed to feel satisfied. Fermenting the feed gives them beneficial gut bacteria, increases the nutrients in the feed, and allows the animals to digest their feed significantly better. Also due to the water content, it helps keep them hydrated.
The best part about this is you only need two containers that can hold the amount of feed you give daily to keep a rolling fermentation going after the initial starter. I found a gal who was not long winded explain how she does it.

I'll be doing a fodder system also. Really looking forward to that, the weird weather has my green thumb itching to see a garden!
