No they canšt, but an endophyte-free paddock can become infected by
endophyte grasses from feeding endophyte hay on the paddock, and slightly
from animals eating the seeds of endophyte grasses before grazing an
endophyte-free paddock.
These grasses are then less likely to be grazed as short as endophyte-free
ones which animals prefer, so could increase.
