Effect of management strategies on the performance of ruminant livestock production systems and the safety of plant and animal products in the city of Sikasso, Mali
(kassel university press, 2012-05-02)
The regional population growth in West Africa, and especially its urban centers, will bring about new and critical challenges for urban development policy, especially in terms of ensuring food security and providing employment for the growing population. (Peri-) urban livestock and vegetable production systems, which can contribute significantly to these endeavours, are limited by various constraints, amongst them limited access to expensive production factors and their (in)efficient use. To achieve sustainable ...

Influence of quebracho tannin extract and activated charcoal on nutrient intake and digestibility, digesta passage, nitrogen balance, and quality of faecal excreta in goats
(kassel university press, 2015)
The current study investigated the possibilities of producing manure that meets the specific requirements of irrigated organic cropping systems under arid sub-tropical conditions.
Therefore, two trials with goats were conducted that investigated the impact of control diets on their digestibility and faecal concentration with the goal to lowerfaecal concentration levels and meet the requirements of irrigated organic cropping.
Feeding ruminants with condensed tannins (CT) will lower ruminal protein degradation, ...

Organische Düngung und reduzierte Bodenbearbeitung als Steuerungsfaktoren für die C-, N-, P- und S-Speicherung von Mikroorganismen
(kassel university press, 2010-07-12)
In dieser Arbeit wurden zum einen die Auswirkungen mineralischer und organischer Düngung und zum anderen der Einfluss reduzierter Bodenbearbeitung (Kreiselegge) im Vergleich zum Einsatz des Wendepfluges auf die Nährstoffspeicherung der mikrobiellen Biomasse untersucht. Dabei wurde deutlich, dass sowohl organische Düngung als auch die reduzierte Bodenbearbeitung zu einer Erhöhung des organischen Kohlenstoffs (Corg), des Stickstoff-Gesamtgehalts (N) und des mikrobiellen Biomasse Kohlenstoffs (Cmik) und Stickstoffs ...

Matter flows and balances in urban vegetable gardens of Bobo Dioulasso, Burkina Faso (West Africa)
(kassel university press, 2012-07-30)
Many efforts are undertaken for sustaining urban agriculture in African cities. This study therefore investigated nutrient management practices in urban vegetable gardens of Bobo Dioulasso, Burkina Faso (West Africa). Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and carbon (C) fluxes were quantified and nutrient balances calculated for three gardens representing the typical commercial gardening + field crops and livestock system (cGCL) and three gardens representing the commercial gardening + semi-commercial field ...
