Describes, briefly, sizes structures, general management and productivity of pastoral herds in the Kaduna Plains of Nigeria. Includes data on age at first calving, calving percentage, calving intervals, calf liveweight & mortality to 1 year, and milk yield of Bunaji cattle under this…

Summarises the performance of three species of stylosanthes, viz, S. guianensis cvs Cook and Schofield, S. hamata cv. Verano and S. humilis under different production systems in Nigeria, such as in pure legume pastures, mixed pastures, with crops, in rangeland and under seed production.

Describes the geology, relief, climate, major soil types, vegetation zones and land use patterns of the subhumid zone of Nigeria. Presents results of studies on natural forage productivity & composition and forage production constraints.

Presents results of studies of settlement, land use & relations w. settled farmers of Fulani agropastoralists in Abet & Kachia Grazing Reserve in Subhumid Nigeria. Discusses reasons of choice of site, pattern & right of grazing and access to land.

Examines the consequences for cattle husbandry of livestock-crop integration as practiced in an agropastoral production system in the sub-humid zone of Nigeria - based on a study of herding practices and cattle grazing behaviour.

Presents an overview of population and land use characteristics of the Kurmin Biri, Abet and Ganawwi areas, all in the subhumid zone of Nigeria, with particular reference to ethnic composition, human & cattle population, cultivation densities and extent of fallow land.

Summarises the literature on the alleged defects of traditional systems of land tenure in Nigeria. Reviews the provisions of the land use decree and their implications for rural land tenure.

Compilation of proceedings of the 2nd ILCA/NAPRI symposium on livestock production in subhumid Nigeria discussing the ecology, vegetation & land use & development potential of the zone; traditional cattle & small ruminant production practices; research updates in…

Summarises the literature on the alleged defects of traditional systems of land tenure in Nigeria. Reviews the provisions of the land use decree and their implications for rural land tenure.

Describes interactions between cropping & livestock husbandry in an area of Fulani settlement arid farming groups at Abet and in a Fulani agropastoral system at Kurmin Biri, both in subhumid Nigeria, identifying the linkages as being feed from fallow land crop residues (CR) grazing and…

Reports findings of baseline studies as size of cultivated area, cropping patterns, management in relation to fallowing and labour & other inputs, yields and constraints to increasing grain & forage production among traditional crop farmers and Fulani agropastoralists at Abet…
