Three-choice preferences for fermented sorghum teas (FST) were examined among 11 adult Ossabaw pigs. The objectives experiments 1 and 2 (respectively) to determine preference for: 1) one of three types FST (white vs. sumac roasted sumac), 2) isocaloric control (+control; made with sucrose), blended (3Tea; equal parts white, sumac, roasted-sumac), or a negative (-control; distilled water; avoidance). Pigs first conditioned navigate three-choice maze. For experiment 1, no clear behaviors tea-type observed. consumed nearly all the teas, but pigs least amount tea in session. spent most time their heads bowl when 3Tea was offered, followed by +control, -control. Regardless tea-type, show strong FST, even over which sweetened water. Adult likely prefer complexity flavors, rather than sweetness alone. Future projects that explore health benefits this formula will not be impeded avoidance
