Report of a study conducted to determine the relationship between environment, herd management and grazing behaviour of domestic ruminants in the Sahelian zone
In the short term, grazing of a 40-ha fallow in the Sahel, Niger, by sheep and goats reduced the standing herbage mass in the wet season and increased its disappearance during the dry season. The effects of stocking rate (62.5 or 125 k g liveweight/ha) and the proportion of sheep in the mixture (...
