	abstract = {Current views and recent research findings on the plant   characteristics influencing (a) herbage production and tolerance of   grazing and (b) herbage intake and nutritive value, are reviewed and   used to define desirable plant ideotypes for grazing systems. The   conflict of interest between physical and physiological characteristics   conferring high production and consumption potential on the one hand,   and flexibility of production and grazing tolerance on the other, is   emphasised.     Current progress in and future prospects for the improvement of plants   for grazing systems are discussed briefly, with reference to the   potential for using mass selection and genetic engineering techniques in   the modification of physical and biochemical characteristics. The need   for objectivity in screening and evaluation programmes is discussed.    },
