Plant species selection by goats foraging on montane semi-natural grasslands and grazable forestlands in the Italian Alps
The interest for goats rearing has increased during last decades on the Italian Alps. However, feeding preferences by grazing goats have not undergone detailed investigation in extensive montane grazing systems. Our study aimed to assess plant species selection by integrating vegetation surveys with...
