An experiment was conducted in 1996 and 1997 in semi-arid Niger, to determine the influence of supplementation (no supplement, millet bran + simple superphosphate, or millet bran + simple superphosphate + blood meal) for cattle and mulching (0 or 3 t ha-1 of Aristida sieberiana straw) on soil fer...

Study was conducted to determine turnover of water, nitrogen and energy in lactating Holstein x Boran cows. Nine cows (Bos indicus × B. taurus) between their 42nd and 420th the days of lactation were selected for this study. The crossbred cows had ad libitum access to water and a dried maize stov...

In vitro techniques used for evaluating ruminant feeds can be classified into those that estimate gravimetrically their digestibility or degradability by quantifying the insoluble residues that remain after their incubation in inoculum containing rumen fluid, and those that measure the appearance...

An experiment, was conducted in semi arid Niger to determine the influence of supplementation with groundnut cake (GC) )0 g kg 1, 2.5 g kg 1, 5 g kg 1, and 7.5 g kg 1 live weight (LW)) and P (0 g day`' and 3 g day 1 animal 1) on diet and millet stover intake and digestibility, sheep growth rate, ...

The selective use by cattle of range resources in the Sahel was assessed in terms of quantity and nutritional quality of the herbage grazed and diet selected. Peak standing crop was 1951 kg ha -1 dry matter (DM) with 47.9 kg nitrogen (N) ha-1 and 7.4 kg phosphorus (P) ha -1. Esophageally fistulat...

The effects of 4 years grazing by sheep and goats at various stocking rates on soil surface features, bulk density, organic C, N and P contents and pH were investigated in Sadore, Niger. Studies were also conducted in a fallow subjected to 9 years of intensive grazing. Although grazing reduced (P...

Inadequate nutrition is the main cause of low productivity of livestock in sub-Saharan Africa. The primary feed resources include fodder trees, natural pastures and crop residues. This paper presents results from studies conducted at ILRI in evaluations of these resources. The effect of supplemen...

Livestock manure is an important source of nutrients for crop production in semi-arid West Africa. An assessment of the potential of manure to sustain crop production calls for an estimation of the amounts of manure that could be produced and captured and the feed resources required to maintain l...

Insufficient feed supply is a major limiting factor for milk production in the tropics. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of feeding level on live-weight and performance of Zebu (Boran) and crossbred (Boran × Holstein, 50–75% Holstein) lactating cows. Twenty-four heifers of each bre...
