In the present study it was considered whether dietary habits may be affected by grazing experience. Six range-experienced goats and six inexperienced goats were tested with three grasses (ryegrass, barley and brome) and two legumes (alfalfa and clover). The experimental design was a series of seven feeding sessions consisting of two forced trials and one free-choice trial. All the animals showed a higher intake rate for grasses. Both range-experienced and inexperienced goats preferred grasses rather than legumes. Contrary to previous works, it seems from this study that grazing experience may not play an important role in the development of diet selection.
