Abstract

Introduced (feral) goats are an invasive animal species in Australia. They can be legally trapped by licensed operators for the domestic and export meat markets. Using quantitative and qualitative behavioural assessment (QBA), the habituation of captured feral goats to an intensive farming system (feedlot) was assessed.
