Lists seven steps involved in the establishment of a fodder bank package based on experimental results and literature. Presents data on intial productivity of stylosanthes fodder banks under researcher-managed and farmes-excuted trials using the seven steps, and the effect of land preparation and...


Mohamed-Saleem, M.A.[Fodder banks: Supplementation to natural grazing]Fodder banks: Supplementation to natural grazing

Forage intake and feeding behaviour of cattle grazing during day and/or night was studied in Sadore between February and May (late dry season) 1995 and, in Toukounous, Niger, between July 1995 and May 1996, covering wet (WS), early dry (EDS) and late dry (LDS) seasons. In Sadore, 24 steers grazed...

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...

Report of a study conducted to determine the relationship between environment, herd management and grazing behaviour of domestic ruminants in the Sahelian zone


Dicko, M.S.Sangare, M.[Feeding behaviour of domestic ruminants in sahelian zone]Feeding behaviour of domestic ruminants in 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 (...

Grazing and herd management in sub-Saharan Africa is discussed in a broad ecological, agricultural and geopolitical context. A brief historical overview of the Development of the livestock sector is presented, followed by an assessment of feed supplies and livestock densities in major ecological ...

This paper gives ideas and suggestions to initiate research to address year-round feeding systems, which is one of the major objectives of the Crop-Animal Systems Research Network (CASREN) Project. These ideas and suggestions are discussed in this paper and these are 1) participatory approaches t...

Autor: Bayer, W.

Presents results of a study of grazing behaviour and forage resources utilisation by herded cattle belonging to agropastoralists at Abet & Kurmin Biri in the subhumid zone of Nigeria as well time spent on walking, resting & watering. Subdivides grazing activities into natural range grazing, brows...

Autor: Bayer, W.

Presents 3-year results testing weight losses of cattle on 2 or 4-hour dry season grazing of fodder banks, compared to controls, within ILCA's subhumid zone programme in Nigeria and observations on diet selection and grazing activity on fodder banks and natural range.
