Effets d'un abreuvement espace (2 et 3 jours) sur la productivite de bovins Boran
Discusses the water needs of livestock in Africa and other hot regions, and the physiological utilization of water both within and between species, including water turnover, water loss, and water replacement. Suggests some ways of optimizing water use and using water as a management tool.
Presents a general description of pastoralist milk production from cattle in Africa, analyzing data on milk yield & offtake, lactation and milk composition under pastoralist conditions; briefly examines the use of milk from camels and smallstock by pastoralsits to complement their milk supply fro...
