In the Sahel of West Africa, the productivities of rangelands, croplands and livestock are inextricably linked. Cattle, sheep and goats graze rangelands and crop residues, and their manure/urine is used to fertilize crops. Rangelands provide important feeds during the manuring period, resulting i...

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.

Animal manure is of vital importance to soil-fertility maintenance in semi-arid West Africa due to its intrinsic value as a soil amendment and because of the low level of inorganic fertiliser use. This paper provides a regional overview of manure utilisation for food crop production. Results of e...
