A new study by the Research Institute of Farm Animal Biology ( FBN ) in Dummerstorf in Germany suggests goats exhibit prosocial behavior.

Researchers developed a novel experimental design inspired by the natural climbing behavior of goats.

The results show goats interacted significantly more often with the device when it contained food for their conspecifics.
