Foraging behaviours of the Damascus, Mamber and Boer goat breeds were compared on the South Carmel mountain ridge in Israel. Dietary choice was determined for a group of 10 or 11 yearling animals of each breed, housed and grazed separately to prevent social facilitation, during a total of 4 (Mamber) or 5 (Damascus and Boer) 4-day periods in the fall of 2004 and spring of 2005.
