Presents results of a field data collection as to the age & sex wise herd structure of settled Fulani cattle herds at Abet in Nigeria. Includes a discussion on herd sizes, sex ratio at various ages & factors affecting it i.e. losses, sales/purchases, percentage of milking cows and calf: cow ratio...
Identifies interrelationships between modifications of the environment and the growth of Nigeria's population and consequent agricultural expansion in the subhumid zone resulting in the disappearance of habitats & hosts of tsetse. Discusses impacts of these changes in the distribution of the nati...
