In the Fakara region of the Sahel zone, Niger, West Africa, farmers have been implementing traditional soil man-agement practices such as the application of dry farmyard manure (FYM) and household waste (HHW), livestockcorralling, and fallows. Previousstudies, however, have not accumulatedenough ...

To address the problem of restricted access to grazing by cattle in wet season in the Sahel, a grazing trial was conducted to study the effect of duration of grazing and grazing method on cattle nutrition and performance. Twenty-four intact steers weighing 259 kg (SD=62) were randomly allotted to...
