Abstract
Future human population increases will require more land being devoted to cereal production. This will demand that ruminants be increasingly reliant on crop by-products for feed. The greater integration of crop and animal production will require more reliance on stall feeding systems. There is little published information on stall feeding systems for sheep and goats. Furthermore there is little information on the design of stall feeders for these animals. This paper reports an experiment designed to measure the reach capacity of sheep and goats in order to provide base line data which will be required when designing feeders for them.
