Sánchez, Pedro A.Korir, DanielAli, A.I.M.Goopy, John P.Merbold, LutzSchlecht, E.Dickhoefer, U.[Feed intake, apparent total tract digestibility, and nitrogen balance in Boran steers fed with three grasses grown alone or intercropped with Lablab purpureus]Feed intake, apparent total tract digestibility, and nitrogen balance in Boran steers fed with three grasses grown alone or intercropped with Lablab purpureus

Poor cropland fertility and a rapidly rising demand for food force Sahelian farmers to cultivate more land and shorten fallow periods. This mostly leads to a gradual decline in crop yields per hectare, which can be counterbalanced by the systematic use of livestock manure on cropland. To assess t...


Schlecht, E.Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y.Achard, F.Turner, M.D.[Livestock related nutrient budgets within village territories in western Niger]Livestock related nutrient budgets within village territories in western Niger

Night corralling of livestock directly in crop fields during the dry season contributes to nutrient cycling for the benefit of crops. Rangeland grazing and corralling livestock on selected croplands result in a spatial transfer of organic matter and nutrients from rangelands to the corralling sit...


Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y.Fernández Rivera, S.Schlecht, E.Turner, M.Williams, Timothy O.[Livestock-mediated nutrient transfers in Sahelian agro-ecosystems]Livestock-mediated nutrient transfers in Sahelian agro-ecosystems

Published and new data from experiments conducted in several range sites in Niger and Mali were analysed to assess wet season, dry season and year-round animal weight changes, stocking rates, forage availability, feed intake and faecal excretions of cattle, sheep and goats. Herbage availability o...


Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y.Ayantunde, Augustine A.Leeuw, P.N. deFernández Rivera, S.Sangare, M.Schlecht, E.[Foraging efficiency, stocking rates, grazing pressure and livestock weight changes in the Sahel]Foraging efficiency, stocking rates, grazing pressure and livestock weight changes in the Sahel

In many African cities urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) plays a major role in creating jobs and contributing to food security. However, many small-scale UPA systems are characterised by excessive nutrient inputs to the livestock unit and poor handling of manure. To assess the impact of impr...
