Discusses ILCA's research programme on integrating goat & sheep production into alley cropping systems i.e. production of crops between permanent rows of intensively managed trees, and also crop & animal production constraints inherent in the humid zones of West Africa and outlines on-going alley...
Reports results of two experiments conducted to evaluate a collection of Gliricidia sepium for initial growth and mulch production and to determine the effect of planting density on the establishment and subsequent production of Gliricidia.
Animal performance was evaluated in various management systems in south-east Nigeria. Systems examined included a free-roaming and movement-restricted production system; and farmers' responses to changed husbandry practices. Discussions and data on flock dynamics and male to female ratio; reprodu...
Reports results from a 41 month study of West African Dwarf goats and sheep under village conditions in South-West Nigeria. Presents data on distribution by age and sex; reasons for animals leaving the survey; reproductive performance; litter size; weight at different ages and probability surviva...
Describes ILCA's research w. integrated alley farming, Gliricidia & Leucaena w. food crops, in southwest Nigeria, either w. a cut-and-carry browse feeding system for both sheep & goats or a grazed fallow system for sheep, outlining its biological & economic advantages and assessing its applicabil...
Reviews a variety of research trials ranging from the improvement of germplasm materials to the development of fodder production systems, and concludes with a recommendation for more research and development attention on the integration of fodder trees within the existing farming systems. Include...
Review of work being carried out by ILCA's Humid Zone Programme based at Ibadan, Nigeria to improve small ruminant production in this area. Evaluates ways of linking crop & small ruminant production through the use of fast growing leguminous trees such as Leucaena leucocephala & Gliricidia sepium...
Evaluates alley farming models with small ruminants based on field and experimental data from southwest Nigeria, and compares them to basic alley cropping and to fallow systems. Describes the basic fallow model, the basic alley cropping model without animals, the alley farming model with goats, a...
