Resource selection of free-ranging goats and potential behavioral mechanisms

2022-03-31

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Herbivores rarely move and forage randomly in rangelands. They tend to move in ways that balance energy acquisition from food intake and energy expenditure to find food, which are generally influenced by biotic and abiotic factors respectively. However, few studies have explored the relative importance of energy acquisition and expenditure in the foraging behavior of livestock or wild angulat...
