Popis:	Trees and shrubs play an important role in increasing feed supplies to animal production in many tropical systems. These feeds sources can be browsed directly by animals or can be cut and carried (Ivory, 1989). Understanding the behaviour of domestic animals is an important tool in improving their management and production (Malechek and Provenza, 1983). An experiment was conducted to examine the effect of between-breed competition on the browsing behaviour of Welsh Mountain sheep, with alternative sources of supplementary feed using Cambridge ewes as the competing breed.
