A survey was conducted from February to June of 1997 among livestock herders in two villages of Niger, Kodey and Toukounous, on their perceptions, practice, and problems of night grazing. Cattle and sheep were the species that were taken out for night grazing by the herders. Small herd size an...
Sixty-four Azawak male weaned calves were allotted to eight treatments (T) in two trials to study the effect of timing (day or day-and-night) and duration of grazing on diet selection, faecal output, eating time, forage intake and weight changes. Grazing time during the day was 6 h for T 1, 2 and...
L'effet de differents types d'amendements associes ou non au parcage nocturne de bovins dans le champ, et celui de 1'application de furrier sur la production de mil et la fertilite du sol ont ete etudies. Laugmentation des rendements du mil dans le traitement paillage associe au parcage est expli...
Predictions of tree size and density from a remote sensing model were used together with allometric regression equations from the literature to estimate foliage and above-ground woody biomass in sparse woodlands. Study sites with woody cover ranging from 10-50 per cent were located in the Sudania...
Compares normalized difference vegetation index data derived from the advanced very high resolution radiometer on board the NOAA-7 satellite for the 1983 growing season for the saheliant zone of Niger wit biomass estimates derived from an emperical grassland productivity model.
Sxity-four Azawak male calves were used to study the effect of nocturnal grazing (NG) and supplementation (S) in the dry season on forage and water intake, faecal output, eating time and weight changes of cattle in the Sahel. Treatments were factorial combinations of four levels of NG (0, 2, 4 an...
Agricultural production in the semi-arid agro-ecosystems of the Sahel centres on cereal staple crops and pastoralism with increasing crop-livestock integration. Animals mobilize soil fertility through manure production, graze crop by-products, and transfer nutrients from distant pastures to crop...
Soils used for rainfed cereal production in Niger are sandy, deficient in major nutrients (N and P), and also low in organic matter content. Scarce rainfall with an unpredictable distribution in space and time makes crop and nutrient management difficult. Observations were made in 1996 and 1997...
Integrated natural resource management (INRM) is considered in the context of evolving crop-livestock systems in West Africa and recent Developments in approaches for INRM research. The major crop-livestock systems, ranging from extensive grazing, through integrated crop-livestock farming to inte...
