If you are interested in how domestication has changed the cognitive abilities of animals, this new paper on goat cognition by our own @GoatsThatStare and @niebgnal might be something for your reading list. 🐐🐐🐐.
New goat cognition research is incoming!! 🐐🐐🐐. We assessed whether domestication or selection objective shape goats’ ability to use physical and social cues. The results were quite surprising – why? Follow this thread 1/8. Paper link 👇

🚨Publication alert🚨. More non-invasive techniques to assess stress and production parameters are needed! . Our members W. Otten, S. Heimbürge, & E. Kanitz here show how milk production is associated with hair cortisol concentration in dairy cows.
