Grazing effects of goat-sheep mixes on vegetation structure and productivity of old fallow in the Sahel
In the short term, grazing of a 40-ha fallow in the Sahel, Niger, by sheep and goats reduced the standing herbage mass in the wet season and increased its disappearance during the dry season. The effects of stocking rate (62.5 or 125 k g liveweight/ha) and the proportion of sheep in the mixture (she...
