Outlines the principles and practices of fodder-bank establishment and management in the sub-humid zones of West Africa. Summarises data that indicate the benefit of fodder banks to subsequent crops.
Grassland-based systems are no longer seen exclusively as livestock production enterprises but as multiple use systems with important consequences for the global environment. They are crucial for the protection of ecosystem goods and services, for tourism and for mitigating climate change. Well-m...

A trial was conducted to study comparative difference in fattening performance of Arsi highland sheep with and without concentrate at 0.6 kg/day. Group I was supplemented with concentrate at 0.6 kg/day. Group II was not supplemented with concentrate. There were 40 lambs in each group, with almost...

Livestock manure is an important source of nutrients for crop production in semi-arid West Africa. An assessment of the potential of manure to sustain crop production calls for an estimation of the amounts of manure that could be produced and captured and the feed resources required to maintain l...
