Le changement climatique constitue une menace pour l’élevage en raison de ses conséquences sur les performances des animaux et sur la disponibilité des ressources pastorales. Les systèmes sylvopastoraux et agrosylvopastoraux sont des solutions pour concilier production animale durable et changement climatique. Ce document synthétise la littérature...
The substantial use of medicinal plants in traditional poultry farming is a well-established practice. The present study aimed to determine the median lethal dose (LD50) of ethanolic extracts of Jatropha multifida and Hyptis suaveolens in local chickens and to assess the effects of these extracts on feed intake, water intake, and average body weigh...
Hyptis suaveolens (H. suaveolens), known as Gros baume or sweet-smelling Hyptis, is an invasive plant from tropical regions widely used to manage human and animal ailments, such as bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases. This study aimed to synthesize a scientific research work on the use of this medicinal plant in the traditional pharmacopeia, a...
Cattle breeding is of great socio-economic importance for Benin's cattle farmers in general and those of North Benin in particular. The objective of this study is to inventory the natural products of medicinal plants of the Beninese pharmacopoeia for the management of trypanosomes in cattle in North Benin. The methodology consisted of individual an...
Kigelia africana, or sausage tree, is a plant widely used in the management of human and animal diseases for a very long time. The objective of this study is to synthesize the knowledge on its biological and pharmacological properties. To achieve this, specific keywords were used to explore scientific databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Resea...
Traditional medicine has remained the most affordable and readily available source of treatment for primary care in poor African communities. Despite the increasingly common practices of traditional medicine to treat animal diseases, this rich endogenous knowledge is not sufficiently documented. The objective of this review is to synthesize informa...

Studying body development in animals is an essential component for improving their production. The objective of this study was to study body measurements with regard to sex and age in Borgou cattle breed reared at the Okpara Breeding Farm. Data were collected on 244 animals (including 114 males and 120 females) distributed in 0-6, 6-12, 12-24, 24-3...
Les trypanosomoses animales africaines demeurent une des contraintes majeures au développement de l’élevage bovin en Afrique subsaharienneparticulièrement au Bénin. Dans le but de déterminer la prévalence de la trypanosomose bovine dans la commune de N’dali au Nord-Est du Bénin, une étude parasitologique combinée avec des tests de biologie molécula...
