Agropastoral herding practices and grazing behaviour of cattle in the subhumid zone of Nigeria
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...

In the Nigerian subhumid savanna studies of grazing behaviour by herded cattle reveal utilisation of wide range of feed resources including browse, crop residues and recent fallow, all of which are more nutritious than natural range. A comparison of grazing in a farming area and in a grazing rev...
