Most farming systems in semi-arid West Africa rely on organic matter recycling for maintaining soil fertility. The cycling of biomass through ruminant livestock into dung (faeces) and urine that fertilize the soil has long been an important factor in the nutrient cycling processes of these integr...

A greenhouse trial was carried out at the International Crop Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), at Sadore (13°15' N, 2°18'E), Niger. Experiments were conducted in conjunction with a feeding trial. The feeding trial yielded eight types of compost made from faeces and leftove...

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, ...

In response to on-going agricultural intensification, crop-livestock systems are becoming more important in West African farming systems. The role of livestock in providing stability to such systems, particularly through their interaction with the soil environment is unquestionable. Worldwide, th...

The influence of forage type, feed allowance and watering time on faeces and urine excretion by cattle, sheep and goats was studied. Higher amounts of nitrogen (N) were excreted during the day than during the night. The occurrence of defaecation and urination was highest at the time of getting up...

A greenhouse experiment was carried out at the International Crop Research Institute for the Semi Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), at Sadord (13°15' N, 2°18'E), Niger, in conjunction with a feeding trial. Eight types of compost were made with millet stover (refusals and faeces with or without urine from s...

An experiment was conducted during the dry season in 1998 to determine the influence of supplementation with groundnut cake (GC) (0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 g kg-1 LW) and phosphorus (P) (0 and 3 g day-1 animal) on diet and millet stover intake and digestibility, sheep growth rate and nutrient excretion. ...

Mixed farming systems in semi-arid West Africa rely on recycling organically bound nutrients to maintain soil productivity. The passage of plant biomass through ruminant livestock plays a major role in the nutrient cycles of this region. The feeding value of crop residues and browses and their im...
