Dairy sheep and goats prefer the single components over the mixed ration

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Mixed rations provide ruminants with a balanced diet by aiming to prevent selective feeding. However, this is a natural behavior of sheep and goats based on their dietary needs and the nutritional properties of feedstuffs.
