Declarations
:
: This study was approved by the Committee for Animal Use and Care of the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Consumer Protection of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (approval number 7221.3-2-014/20). All animal care and experimental procedures were performed in accordance with all relevant German welfare requirements for farm animals and the ASAB/ABS Guidelines for the Use of Animals in Research (Anonymous ). Even though water was only available as a reward at the learning device in this study, this did not mean any water deprivation for the goats, as the learning device was available 24/7 and they could perform an unlimited number of actions at the learning device (see also (h) Ethical note ).
