Low feed quality, short periods of grazing each day and the need to search for forage are all constraints on cattle productivity in most parts of Africa. From the literature reviewed, it was observed that many factors affect the intake and utilization of feeds and that no single factor controls i...

A study was conducted to examine herd structure and cattle disposal patterns of Bunaji herds kept under traditional management at four locations in the subhumid zone of Nigeria. Sale for meat was the single most important disposal reason. Mean age of cattle sold for meat was 8 years but the age r...

An on-farm study was conducted over a 12-year period (1979 through 1990) at four locations in the subhumid zone of Nigeria to estimate levels of performance of Bunaji cattle and to examine factors affecting productivity in these production systems. Average weight at birth, at 9 months and at 12 m...

Growth, reproductive performance, milk offtake and mortality]On-farm performance of Bunaji (White Fulani) cattle. 2. Growth, reproductive performance, milk offtake and mortality

This study arose from the need to develop strategies that optimize the use of available feed resources from natural range fallow and crop residues in combination with the fodder bank innovation. The paper discusses the interactive effects of feeding both forage legume and urea molasses supplement...
