Pastoral systems are considered as complex systems, given the number of entities and the multitude of interactions and levels of granularity. To conduct a study of such system taking into account the interactions and their results, analytical approaches are not adequate. In this paper, we present an agent-based model of the animal behavior in the pastoral system taking into account the selective food aspect. This model has been validated using a multi-agent based simulation implemented on the simulation platform Cormas. The obtained results reflect the importance of this aspect in the animal behavior and its effects on vegetation cover.
