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...

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. ...

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...
