Highlights the interactions between agronomy and economics in developing forage production techniques for the two main land-use situations in the subhumid zone of Nigeria, viz, cultivation and fallow. Presents break-even sorghum grain-stylo price ratios for different undersowing times, capital an...

Interactions entre parametres agronomiques et economiques dans la recherche agrostologique
A study was conducted to examine herd structure and cattle disposal patterns of Bunaji herds kept under traditional management at four locations in the subhumid zone of Nigeria. Sale for meat was the single most important disposal reason. Mean age of cattle sold for meat was 8 years but the age r...
Outlines the major elements of pastoral resource use and examines strategies for development of pastoral systems in subhumid west Africa. Looks at cattle management, grazing resources, transhumant cattle, grazing reserves, and ranching.

Resource use and strategies for development of pastoral systems in subhumid West Africa - The case of Nigeria
This study arose from the need to develop strategies that optimize the use of available feed resources from natural range fallow and crop residues in combination with the fodder bank innovation. The paper discusses the interactive effects of feeding both forage legume and urea molasses supplement...

Optimal utilization of fodder banks for the reproductive efficiency of Bunaji cattle: Effect of dry season forage legume supplementation on weight and reproductive performance
Presents the result of a study conducted to estimate the potential fodder productivity of millet, sorghum, maize and rice using the land suitability estimates of FAO and the AEZ metheodology for Stylosanthes hamata cv verano. Also examines the dry matter theat could be produced from 0.5 percent o...
