Effects of sheep diet on nutrient cycling in mixed farming systems of semi-arid West Africa
The cycling of biomass through livestock into manure and urine that fertilise the soil is an important linkage between livestock and soil productivity in semi-arid West Africa. This study was conducted to determine the effects of different forage leaves on the amounts and forms of nutrients excreted...
