Description
Goats have particular anatomical behaviour for browsing leaves to satisfy their energy requirements. In rangelands, available shrubs, leaves and biomass resources influence ruminant’s activities and rhythms such as foraging, walking, resting, ruminating and drinking. At semi-arid areas, this study aimed to determine how shrubs interact with pasture value to effect goat foraging behaviour.
