Feed factors affecting nutrient excretion by ruminants and the fate of nutrients when applied to soil
Mixed farming systems in semi-arid West Africa rely on recycling organically bound nutrients to maintain soil productivity. The passage of plant biomass through ruminant livestock plays a major role in the nutrient cycles of this region. The feeding value of crop residues and browses and their impac...
