Description: The main goal of this research project is to evaluate the cognitive capabilities of domestic goats, with a special focus on how goats recognize and mentally represent human handlers. Gaining deeper knowledge of livestock cognition is hugely important because socio-cognitive capacities affect the ability of livestock to adapt to human handling and husbandry conditions.
