Livestock related nutrient budgets within village territories in western Niger

Autor: Schlecht, E. Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y. Achard, F. Turner, M.D.

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...

Livestock-mediated nutrient transfers in Sahelian agro-ecosystems

Autor: Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y. Fernández Rivera, S. Schlecht, E. Turner, M. Williams, Timothy O.

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...

Timing, size and nitrogen concentration of faecal and urinary excretions in cattle, sheep and goats: An they be exploited for better manuring of cropland?

Autor: Schlecht, E. Fernández Rivera, S. Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y.

The influence of forage type, feed allowance and watering time on faeces and urine excretion by cattle, sheep and goats was studied. Higher amounts of nitrogen (N) were excreted during the day than during the night. The occurrence of defaecation and urination was highest at the time of getting up...
