Grazing sheep on saltbush is one of the few ways that farmers in southern Australia can make use of the growing amount of land turning saline on their farms.

agneau de pré salé
Explanation:
L'arroche est une variété de chénopode. Ça doit pousser en quantité dans les prés salés, mais on ne parle pas d'agneau d'arroche...

agree  Melzie: Yes, arroches is the right word. I think, however, that it may go further than that.

agree  Melzie: you beat me to it! though the correct translation for saltbush is arroche, I get the feeling that it is a 'generic' and arroche is just one of the salt tolerant plants that make up grazing. Also, faire paître le mouton au prés-salés
