Which of the following farm animals will browse more on plants in a pasture?
Answer Details
Goats will browse more on plants in a pasture compared to other farm animals. Browsing refers to the act of feeding on bushes and trees above the ground level. Goats have a natural inclination to browse as they prefer to eat leaves, twigs, and small branches. In contrast, cattle, pigs, and sheep are mainly grazers and prefer to eat grass that is close to the ground. While all four animals will eat a variety of plants, goats are more likely to browse on a wider range of plants, making them useful for controlling weeds and managing vegetation in pastures.
