Although this document is intended to report research on Vertisols, livestock do not respect this boundary as they graze communal land. Hence a general situation of the available feed resources in the highlands is also highlighted which is followed by specific efforts of collaborative partners of...

Undersowing sorghum with stylo as a means of improving fodder quality for dry-season grazing of livestock in the subhumid zone of Nigeria was investigated. Planting either Stylosanthes guianeusis cv 'Cook' or S. hamata cv 'Verano' simultaneously with local or improved varieties of sorghum reduced...

Investigates Nitrogen and Phosphorus transfers in a crop - livestock system in the subhumid zone of Nigeria. Estimates N and P removed from cropland during crop residue grazing and returned to the land through manure, and the contribution crop residues make to cattle diet during the dry season.
