Have a field infested with the stuff and have been advised on Forefront. Caveat being that the ground should only be grazed after application and not cut for hay/ silage

And only with cattle and sheep , so not horses
Something to do with the chemical still being active once it's passed through the animal- horse manure tends to end up all over the place and in people's gardens/ allotments and makes their plants/ veg grow all wonky and stunted I believe.

No hay/silage, slurry/manure may leave the farm if hay/silage have been cut from the field same year or the year after some of these chemicals have been used. Likewise if these fields are grazed by livestock that are housed/milked for part of the day.

(This includes proving all stored hay/silage have been used before the creation of any slurry/manure that then leave the farm.)

Yet the much lower risk chemicals can't legally be used in a weed wipe!
