In this document ILCA proposes a set of six researchable issues pertaining to ILCA's three research areas that need to be investigated (three broad themes). A brief description of the researchable issues is presented. This includes economic and policy measures to improve the management of natural...

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. ...

L'effet de difftrents types d'amendements du Sol associes ou non au parcage nocturne de bovins dans le champ, et celui de l'application de furrier Sur la production de mil et la fertilite du Sol ont ete etudies. L'augmentation des rendements du mil dans le traitement paillage associe au parcage e...

Forage intake and feeding behaviour of cattle grazing during day and/or night was studied in Sadore between February and May (late dry season) 1995 and, in Toukounous, Niger, between July 1995 and May 1996, covering wet (WS), early dry (EDS) and late dry (LDS) seasons. In Sadore, 24 steers grazed...

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...

Short-duration rotation grazing was compared with deferred grazing in a 3-year experiment at ICRISAT, Niger. Short-duration grazing used a mixed herd (2 steers, 4 sheep and 4 goats) and cycles of 15-21 days in the wet season and 91 days in the dry season. Wet season grazing compared high (83-126 ...

In the short term, grazing of a 40-ha fallow in the Sahel, Niger, by sheep and goats reduced the standing herbage mass in the wet season and increased its disappearance during the dry season. The effects of stocking rate (62.5 or 125 k g liveweight/ha) and the proportion of sheep in the mixture (...

Grazing and herd management in sub-Saharan Africa is discussed in a broad ecological, agricultural and geopolitical context. A brief historical overview of the Development of the livestock sector is presented, followed by an assessment of feed supplies and livestock densities in major ecological ...
