There are seven OECD [Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development] schemes in operation involving the varietal certification of seed moving in international trade :herbage(grass and legume), oilseed, cereal, vegetable, sugar and fodder beet, maize and sorghum, subterranean clover and similar species. The objectives of these schemes are to encourage the use of seed of consistently high quality for the improvement of forage, food and fibre production in participating countries and to facilitate the international movement of Certified seed. 2, record 1, English, - OECD%20Schemes%20for%20the%20Varietal%20Certification%20of%20Seed%20Moving%20in%20International%20Trade

L'OCDE [Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques] maintient actuellement sept systèmes de certification variétale des semences destinées au commerce international : cultures herbagères (graminées et légumineuses); oléagineux; céréales; légumes; betterave à sucre et betterave fourragère; maïs et sorgho; trèfle souterrain et espèces similaires. Leur but est d'encourager l'utilisation constante de semences de haute qualité, autant pour améliorer la production de fourrages, d'aliments et de fibres dans les pays participants que pour favoriser le commerce international des semences certifiées. 2, record 1, French, - Syst%C3%A8mes%20de%20l%27OCDE%20pour%20la%20certification%20vari%C3%A9tale%20des%20semences%20destin%C3%A9es%20au%20commerce%20international

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 2, 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 2, French, - qualit%C3%A9%20de%20l%27herbe
