The seasonal pattern of tick load on Bunaji cattle under traditional management in northern Nigeria was observed over 12 months to investigate the possibilities of strategic use of acaricide. Ticks were removed 2-3 times weekly by hand from 16 animals, counted and the species determined. Tick l...

The grazing behaviour in 12 cattle herds (mean size 45 head) mainly of the Banaji (White Fulani) breed kept by Fulani pastoralists was studied by analysing the diurnal pattern of grazing activity during 5 herd-days per month over 1 year. Herding restricted animal access to pasture to only 8.4 h/d...
