Grazing Behaviour.... The horse will avoid grazing where there is a smell of horses droppings, reducing the possibility of picking up parasitic worm eggs and resulting in the characteristic rough areas of pastures that are continually grazed.... The sense of smell is also used to identify plant species, enabling horses to be selective of grass or herb species and also to avoid certain poisonous weeds, i. e. ragwort.... The horse has sensitive hairs on the lips allowing them to determine how close to the ground they are grazing, and also, the maturity of individual plants. 1, record 2, English, - grazing%20behaviour

For early-spring grazing.... Young, vigorous stands of alfalfa or alfalfa-grass mixtures in which the alfalfa has not been injured or weakened by bacterial wilt disease may be grazed evenly and heavily for about a week in early spring if the ground is firm. Excellent pasturage is provided by this treatment; it also delays the time of cutting and results, in a finer and better quality of hay. 1, record 4, English, - early%2Dspring%20grazing

(Le déprimage est une méthode) d'exploitation fourragère qui consiste à laisser les animaux pâturer des graminées dès le début du printemps, par suite de l'insuffisance des réserves fourragères en fin d'hiver. [...] Le déprimage peut avoir l'avantage d'augmenter assez notablement la digestibilité du cycle ultérieur de la graminée, par rapport à un cycle normal. Il peut, cependant, diminuer le rendement global annuel en matière sèche. 2, record 4, French, - d%C3%A9primage

The use of the ha-ha, or sunken fence, to create and at the same time conceal the physical division between garden and contiguous park grounds(a division needed to keep grazing animals out of the garden) was a major step in the creation of the new, "natural" garden. Walpole explains the purpose of the visual unification : The contiguous ground of the park without the sunk fence was to be harmonized with the lawn within; and the garden in its turn was to be set free from its prime regularity, that it might assort with the wilder country without. 4, record 5, English, - ha%2Dha

Kent imagina, pour prolonger la perspective et inclure tout un paysage dans un jardin, un nouveau genre de clôture, baptisé le "ha-ha", pour exprimer la surprise qu'il cause. C'était un fossé doublé d'une palissade en contre-bas et infranchissable, mais qui avait le mérite d'être invisible, et de ne pas rompre la continuité des lignes. 2, record 5, French, - saut%2Dde%2Dloup
