Umutoni, ClarisseBado, VincentWhitbread, Anthony M.Ayantunde, Augustine A.Abdoussalam, IbrahimHamza, Seydou K.[Evaluation of the feed quality of six dual purpose pearl millet varieties and growth performance of sheep fed their residues in Niger]Evaluation of the feed quality of six dual purpose pearl millet varieties and growth performance of sheep fed their residues in Niger

Sun-drying is the main method of conserving peanut haulms in the tropics but it is challenging to field-dry and store in the rainy season due to nutrient losses, which could be reduced by ensiling. This study investigated the effects of conserving peanut haulm as hay or silage on growth performan...

Groundnut haulms along with cowpea hay are major crop residues used for animal fattening in the West African Sahel. In traditional sheep fattening,feeds are always provided ad-hoc and in an unregulated fashion, which is rather wasteful. As a preliminary study to establish the optimal feeding leve...

A survey was conducted from February to June of 1997 among livestock herders in two villages of Niger, Kodey and Toukounous, on their perceptions, practice, and problems of night grazing. Cattle and sheep were the species that were taken out for night grazing by the herders. Small herd size an...

Published and new data from experiments conducted in several range sites in Niger and Mali were analysed to assess wet season, dry season and year-round animal weight changes, stocking rates, forage availability, feed intake and faecal excretions of cattle, sheep and goats. Herbage availability o...

Evaluation of lifetime productivity of individual animals in response to various interventions allows assessment of long-term investment opportunities for farmers. In order to gain a better understanding of promising feed interventions for improvement of small ruminant production in Southwestern ...

An on-farm study was conducted to determine the combined effects of the provision of feed and healthcare on nutrient use and growth performance of sheep during the early or late dry season. A total of 36 smallholder sheep farmers with a flock size of ≤7 was randomly selected within each of the th...
