B.  aThe development of sucking behaviour in the newborn goat.h[electronic resource]  c1974  aAbstract: The development and nature of the approach and sucking behaviour of newborn goats has been studied in kids born to normal mothers and to animals with one of the two mammary glands transplanted to the neck. The initial approaches of the kids appeared to be orientated primarily towards the mobile rounded forms of the dam's ventral surfaces, with random direction of movement. Sucking occurred when the mouth contacted a smooth hairless surface, whether this was a teat located in either a normal or abnormal position, or even a surgically exteriorized skin-covered vein. By the third day of life most kids had developed a preference for sucking either the transplanted or the normal teat and were quickly able to locate their preferred teat. Non-nutritive sucking was not observed at this stage, suggesting that a reward mechanism exists as an integral part of the sucking reflex in the kid.  aGoats  aKids (goats)  aMammary glands  aReproduction  aCaprino  aFisiologia  aGlândula Mamaria  aReprodução  aComportamento reprodutivo  aNewborn animals1 aLINZELL, J.
