In agopastoral systems of the semi arid West African Sahel, targeted applications of ruminant manure to the cropland is a widespread practice to maintain soil productivity. However, studies exploring the decomposition and mineralisation processes of manure under farmers' conditions are scarce. Th...

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...

This paper outlines the role of livestock in integrated nutrient management in semi-arid west Africa. Farmers' strategies in the use of animal manure as well as research efforts to better understand the process of nutrient cycling through livestock in mixed farming systems are described. It con...
