§ 5012 Forage Definition For Pests

• •Forage is food that animals eat by themselves, like when cows graze on grass or deer eat leaves from trees.
• •This includes food for pets, farm animals, or wild animals.
• •The food is what animals find and eat on their own, not what people give them.

A farmer lets his cows out into a field to eat grass.

The grass the cows eat is called forage because the cows are eating it by themselves while grazing.
