Herbage
Definition:
(n.) Herbs collectively; green food beasts; grass; pasture.
(n.) The liberty or right of pasture in the forest or in the grounds of another man.
Example Sentences:

(2) At that time the herbage larval infectivity around inoculated cow pats deposited in May, June and July was subject to a reduction of 48%, 89% and 46%, respectively, compared with fungus-free control cow pats.
(3) Multiple regression analysis showed that 60 per cent of variation in D viviparus third stage larvae recovery from herbage was accounted for by known variables.
(4) Reduced trichostrongylid infection on herbage and in calves was obtained when first-season calves, grazing a common area of pasture, received low-dosage phenothiazine (PTZ) in two successive years.
(5) Partial correlations between disappearance of N, K, Ca, Mg and S after the 48-h incubation and herbage concentration were significant.
(6) Extrusa and hand-clipped herbage samples were similar (P greater than .10) in OMD during May and September, but OMD of extrusa was greater (P less than .05) during June, July and August compared to clipped samples.
(7) From the results of the herbage analysis and the worm burdens in parasite naive tracer calves introduced at the end of 18 months, it was clear that considerable numbers of infective larvae of Ostertagia ostertagi and Cooperia oncophora survived for at least 18 months on pastures not grazed at all.
(8) There was no significant difference in tryptophan content between herbage from two normal pastures and from three pastures in which outbreaks of fog fever occurred.
(9) Few infective larvae were recovered from the soil although appreciable numbers of larvae were recovered from the herbage.
(10) Contaminated herbage was eaten most when attractive herbage became scarce.
(11) Larvae were extracted by washing and sedimentation and counts expressed as number of larvae per kg dry herbage.
(12) The profile of the graph of larval availability in herbage paralleled those for temperature and rainfall, suggesting that larval peaks occurred when the temperature and availability of moisture were optimal.

(15) A dramatic rise in L3 population size occurred on herbage near pats, 17-25 days after pat deposition.
(16) The number of infective O. ostertagi larvae in inoculated cow pats was reduced by 42% and herbage larval infectivity around them by 50-71% as compared with the corresponding parameters in control pats and surrounding herbage.
(17) Diets of fresh kale (Brassica oleracea) and ryegrass (Lolium perenne)-clover (Trifolium repens) herbage were fed to growing sheep in three experiments.
(18) The greatest numbers of larvae were recovered from herbage in August and September.
(19) This experiment indicates that a concentration of 2000 A. oligospora conidia per gram faeces results in a significant lowering of the herbage larval infectivity during the grazing season in Denmark.
(20) Numbers of infective C. oncophora larvae isolated from the pats as well as from the surrounding herbage were subject to an approximately ten-fold reduction as compared with numbers in fungus-free pats and herbage surrounding these.
