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...

Analyse economique de la culture en couloirs a composante fourragere
Discusses the present situation of small ruminant production and possible nutritional interventions for improvement in tropical Africa. Includes data on ruminant livestock population by species and ecologcal zone; the effect of alley farming on the yield of maize; and the effects of supplementary...

In vitro gas production, dry matter and nitrogen degradabilities of fresh and sun-dried foliages of four fodde trees (FTs) (Sesbania sesban, Leucaena leucocephala, Chamaecytisus palmensis (tagasaste), Vernonia amygdalina) and of teff straw were estimated. In Experiment 1, feed samples were incuba...

The detection of the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne javanica, as a pathogen of Desmodium spp. in Colombia, is the first reported case in South Aemerica. In the field, promising pasture legumes D. gyroides, D. heterocarpon and D. ovalifolium were severely damaged, while adjacent stands of Centros...

In recent years, increasing numbers of pathogens and pests have been reported from major centres of tropical pasture research. Damage is often severe and controls are needed. Diseases and pests may be controlled chemically, biologically, culturally and genetically. In pasture plants genetical res...
