Some behaviors in male goats (bucks), especially during the breeding season (rut), might seem strange but are actually quite natural. One such behavior is when a buck tastes or licks his own urine or ge***al area. This behavior is instinctual and has scientific reasons behind it:
1. Tasting or Licking Their Own Urine
Why do they do this?
Scent Marking: Bucks urinate on their faces, chests, legs, and sometimes even into their mouths to spread a strong scent. This scent attracts female goats (does) and increases mating chances.
Hormonal Stimulation: The smell of their own urine stimulates testosterone production, increasing sexual drive.
Dominance Display: This behavior signals strength and dominance to other males.
2. Licking or Tasting Their Ge****ls
Why do they do this?
Cleaning Behavior: Sometimes bucks lick their p***s to keep it clean. This is part of normal grooming.
Sexual Arousal: It may also indicate sexual excitement, especially during the rut.
Instinctive Behavior: In some cases, it's an automatic response related to stress, instinct, or reproductive drive.
Conclusion:
Although such behaviors might seem unhygienic or inappropriate from a human perspective, they are completely natural, healthy, and a normal part of a buck’s reproductive behavior. Veterinarians consider this normal unless accompanied by symptoms like swelling, injury, or poor health.
Note: If your buck displays excessive behavior, loses weight, or shows abnormal signs in the ge***al area, consult a veterinarian.
Keep following Veterinary doctor.
