What is pasture?

What is pasture?

• A. Fermented forage
• B. Field where animals graze
• C. High energy feed
• D. Eating forage directly

Answer: (B)

Pasture is the field or land where forage like grasses and other plants are grown for grazing livestock. It’s the living space animals graze on, not the act of eating or a stored feed. Fermented forage refers to feeds like silage that are stored, not the land itself. A high energy feed is usually a concentrate or grain given as a supplement, not the grazing area. Eating forage directly describes the action of consuming forage, which happens on pasture, but the term pasture itself defines the land used for that grazing.
