Chalk grassland is a unique, specialised and fragile habitat, important for landscape and historical value as well as for wildlife. Chalk grassland results from centuries of grazing on nutrient poor chalk soils, producing a short turf(or "sward") rich in herbs, flowers and grasses. 2, record 1, English, - chalk%20grassland

Une pelouse calcaire est une formation végétale qui pousse sur un relief calcaire très sec, pauvre [et] caillouteux [dédié] au pâturage (moutons, vaches, chèvres). L'appétit de ces braves quadrupèdes a permis de conserver [...] des conditions propices au développement d'une flore et d'une faune rares et diversifiées, très bien adaptées aux conditions locales de sécheresse. 2, record 1, French, - pelouse%20calcaire

It is widely recognised that the nutritive value of legume forage is, in general, superior to that of grasses... Legumes have a high tissue protein content which is rapidly degraded in the rumen of grazing animals... 2, record 2, English, - legume%20forage

Un fourrage de légumineuses possède plus de protéines qu'un autre de graminées, pour une même maturité. Ainsi, un fourrage jeune de légumineuses nécessite moins de suppléments protéiques, comme du tourteau de soya, qu'un fourrage de graminées. 2, record 2, French, - fourrage%20de%20l%C3%A9gumineuses

As background to the subject of how MIG [management intensive grazing] can help to stabilize herbage quality, recognize first that the nutritional value of pasture herbage reflects not simply nutrient content and digestibility, measured through such indices as crude protein content(CP) or fractions thereof, acid and neutral detergent fiber(ADF and NDF, respectively), total digestible nutrients(TDN), in vitro dry matter digestibility(IVDMD), and the balance among key micronutrients, but also intake, which would be affected by both preference and accessibility within the standing sward profile. 2, record 3, English, - herbage%20quality

La diminution de la valeur nutritive de l'herbe, lorsque celle-ci est conservée par séchage ou par ensilage, n'est pas encore assez bien connue pour permettre de la prévoir avec précision. Cette prévision est importante quand il s'agit d'optimiser les systèmes de production de fourrage et d'estimer leur potentiel de production. Elle permettra aussi d'estimer la valeur nutritive des fourrages conservés sur la base de la qualité de l'herbe dont ils sont issus. Ce système de prédiction pourra contribuer à réduire les coûts de la ration. 2, record 3, French, - qualit%C3%A9%20de%20l%27herbe
