Differences among ruminant species in forage selectivity, offers a unique opportunity to manipulate utilization of pastures. Recently, increased milk yields and higher weaning weights of lambs have been shown to occur, when grazing a mixed herb sward containing chicory (Cichorium intybus), red and white clover (Trifolium pratenseand T. repens) and plantain (Plantago lanceolata) (Golding, 2008).},
