to determine the responses of sheep to ascending concentrations of
20 chemicals (taste stimulants). The chemicals tested were: the
sugars, sucrose, maltose, lactose, glucose, fructose and galactose;

This study involved the use of the two-choice preference test to determine the taste responses of eight, each, of pygmy goats, normal goats, sheep and cattle to ascending concentrations of sucrose (Suc), sodium chloride (NaC1), acetic acid (HAc) and quinine hydrochloride (QHCI). In addition, sheep and cattle were tested at...
