Nutritional constraints to grazing ruminants in the millet-cowpea- livestock farming system of the Sahel
Growing pearl millet and cowpea in combination with raising ruminant livestock is widely practiced in the Sahel. In this farming system, livestock feeding depends mostly on rangeland, fallows and cropland grazing. Nutritional constraints to grazing ruminants stem primarily from feed scarcity and sea...
