The establishment of agri-environmental measures in Wallonia promotes hedges and woody strips planting in the agricultural landscape. This study aimed at evaluating the influence of trees and shrubs access on the feeding behaviour of grazing heifers and determining the feeding value of woody species. The second objective was to assess the anti-parasitical effect of these ligneous forages. For 4 consecutive weeks from April to May 2012, 12 dairy heifers were equally distributed among two different groups: one with an open access to a woody hedge (experimental group) and the other not (control group). The feeding behavior of heifers was recorded during days of 10 hours, in relation to the available herbaceous biomass. At the end of the exp...
