Conteúdo: | Abstract : Eating behaviour of 20 goats 2 to 5 years old and 25 kids 4 to 6 months old fed to appetite from 0700 to 1900 h daily on lucerne hay was studied. Time spent during feeding was greater in the morning than in the rest of the day and was least around mid-day and before sun-set. Amount and frequency of drinking were related directly with feeding. Rumination commenced after the morning feeding, dropped around mid-day but increased slightly in the afternoon. Kids were more active in the mornings and less so in the afternoons than mature goats; they spent 44, 1, 8 and 47% of the 12-h day time, respectively, in feeding, drinking, rumination and idling. Corresponding values for the mature goats were 41, 1, 27 and 31%.
