Route de Khombole, BP 296. The experimentation, implemented at a real farm scale, has taken place in pedo-climatic conditions representative of the region. By producing manure and an important work force, livestock strongly contributes to the success of farming activities. Results show that the suggested intensification models have a beneficial effect on the soil fertility. Several technical options are put forward aiming at a reduction of the risks linked to climatic hazards.
Results provide interesting technical references for setting up development programs.
