Discusses the experience of the subhumid zone program of ILCA implementing a participatory approach to livestock systems research.
Three papers are reviewed in this paper. The first paper presents a model of biological processes to investigate long-term effects of soil and crop long-erm effects of soil and crop management strategies while the other two papers present approaches to study crop production strategies at the ente...
Discusses the rest period requirements and the role of stylosanthes in cereal cropping systems in the Nigerian subhumid zone. Presents results of two trials, viz, N application on maize grain yield after natural fallow, and changes in soil physical properties after diffrent land use.
Constraints do not only occur in production systems. They also limit the support available from research and extension and they have serious consequences for human welfare in Africa and for the whole community of nations. The agricultural research agendas in sub-Saharan Africa are indicating more...
Outlines the economic role of sheep and goats in the food production systems of rural communities in Africa, analysing constraints limiting their contribution to the welfare of small farm/low income producers and prescribing methods for overcoming them.
Presents the result of a study conducted to estimate the potential fodder productivity of millet, sorghum, maize and rice using the land suitability estimates of FAO and the AEZ metheodology for Stylosanthes hamata cv verano. Also examines the dry matter theat could be produced from 0.5 percent o...
This paper determines the productivity of West African Dwarf goats in the subhumid zone of Nigeria and compares the relative merits of alternative wet season feed regimes namely; tethering goats on natural pasture, tethering goats on leguminous pasture and free grazing goats on leguminous pasture...
Looks into achievements and difficulties in ruminant livestock Development in the humid and subhumid zones of West and Central Africa. Discusses the ecological and economic circumstances and the changing environment. Gives brief descriptions of the achievments including disease control, tsetse co...
Describes the forage resources and their utilization by pastoralists' cattle in two of ILCA's case study areas in the sub-humid zone of Nigeria. Examines effects on cattle productivity. Presents some characteristics of the two case study areas, contribution of different grazing resources to total...
Results of a study conducted to determine the productivity, composition & quality of fodder banks under different management systems and the milk and liveweight output with and without fodder banks on legume pasture units established for supplementing cattle grazing rangeland under traditional pr...
