Comparison of grazing behaviour between goat and sheep in a steppe rangeland of Iran

摘要：

Nougi (1992) presented that the palatability of some plant species varies during stages of growth as a result of the presence of some chemical compounds.Valentain (1984 ) categorized goats as browsers,and pointed out that browsers often harvest forbs and shrubs with a great amount of herbs.Although browse constitutes up to 90％ of browsers diet in winter and fall,forbs and other palatable plants make a great contribution to their diet in summer and spring.
