Jenet, A.Fernández Rivera, S.Tegegne, AzageSenn, M.Werling, D.Wettstein, H.R.Kreuzer, M.[Relationship of plane of nutrition, milk yield and plasma hormones and metabolites in dairy cows kept under tropical conditions]Relationship of plane of nutrition, milk yield and plasma hormones and metabolites in dairy cows kept under tropical conditions

Jenet, A.Fernández Rivera, S.McCrabb, G.J.Tegegne, AzageKreuzer, M.Yimegnuhal, A.Osuji, P.O.[Conversion of digestible organic matter into weight gain by Boran and Boran x Holstein heifers in different physiological states]Conversion of digestible organic matter into weight gain by Boran and Boran x Holstein heifers in different physiological states

Knowledge of composition of fat, protein and water in the body is indicative for the determination of effects of changes in nutrition in terms of body reserves. Deuterium oxide dilution technique has been proposed as easy, reliable and non-destructive method of determining body composition using ...


Jenet, A.Saurer, M.Fernández Rivera, S.Tegegne, AzageWettstein, H.R.Kreuzer, M.[Body composition of cows kept under tropical conditions: Carry-over effects of feed fluctuation]Body composition of cows kept under tropical conditions: Carry-over effects of feed fluctuation

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...


Sangare, M.Fernández Rivera, S.Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y.Bationo, B. AndréPandey, V.S.[Influence of dry season supplementation for cattle on soil fertility and millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) yield in a mixed crop/livestock production system of the Sahel]Influence of dry season supplementation for cattle on soil fertility and millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) yield in a mixed crop/livestock production system of the Sahel

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...


Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y.Bielders, Charles L.Valentin, ChristianBationo, B. AndréFernández Rivera, S.[Effects of livestock grazing on physical and chemical properties of sandy soils in Sahelian rangelands]Effects of livestock grazing on physical and chemical properties of sandy soils in Sahelian rangelands

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...


Fernández Rivera, S.Williams, Timothy O.Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y.Powell, J.M.[Faecal excretion by ruminants and manure availability for crop production in semi-arid West Africa]Faecal excretion by ruminants and manure availability for crop production in semi-arid West Africa

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...


Jenet, A.Tegegne, AzageOsuji, P.O.Yimegnuhal, A.Kreuzer, M.McCrabb, G.J.Fernández Rivera, S.[Lifetime under-nutrition and lactation performance of Zebu and Zebu x Holstein cows in the tropics]Lifetime under-nutrition and lactation performance of Zebu and Zebu x Holstein cows in the tropics

The sustainability of nutrient transfers in integrated rangeland/cropland systems of the Sahel was examined in relation to the impact of livestock. Rangeland nutrient balances are considered in equilibrium whereas croplands lack the internal capacity to replenish nutrient off takes in grain and c...
