Low input cattle production systems in tropical Africa: An analysis of actual and potential cow-calf productivity
The biological productivity of cow-calf units in low-input production systems in tropical Africa is reviewed. Four production systems (pastoralists agropastoralists, crop-livestock farmers and smallholder farmers) are identified. Fifty-five data sets from monitoring and systems research conducted by...
