Integration of livestock farming practices with trees is neglected and poorly explored in the context of climate change (CC) in drylands. However, such knowledge is urgently needed to propose effective strategies in the livestock sector to cope with CC. This study is initiated to characterize the diversity of indigenous integrated livestock systems...

Carica papaya is a widespread plant in the tropics that has shown excellent nutritional potential. This plant is also rich in bioactive compounds. This study aimed at determining the effect of different levels of Carica papaya leaf meal (PLM) on growth parameters of guinea fowl and its use for pest control. Feeding trial was conducted on forty-five...

This study aims to evaluate the effect of biochar from corn cobs on the performance of chickens. For this study, 201 broiler chicks from the Cobb 500 strain were divided into three batches of 67 chicks laid each on litter consisted of (i) 100% corn cobs (Rafle); (ii) 100% corn cobs biochar (Biochar) and (iii) 50% corn cobs plus 50% Biochar designat...

Les résultats montrent que le poids, les paramètres de reproduction ont été significativement influencés par le groupe d’éleveurs et...

In animal production, body weight is an important parameter for management, health and marketing decisions. This study is undertaken to determine the relationships between body weight and linear body measurements of guinea pigs. 120 guinea pigs (60 males and 60 females) were used. Body weight (BW), head-body length (HBL), chest circumference (CC),...

The study was conducted in northwestern Benin in the commune of Ouaké. It aims to characterize the different types of local turkey farming in this municipality. Surveys were conducted with 75 turkey farms. Three types of breeding have been identified. Type 1 (49.3% of the sample) consists mainly of farmers with an average age of 58.1 ± 1.92 years....

Parkia biglobosa and Pterocarpus erinaceus are traditionally used to treat various ailments including helminth infections. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of the rumen degradability on anthelmintic properties of the two plants and to examine the possible role of tannins and/or polyphenols on these properties. Hydro-acetone extracts...
