ABSTRACT: Silage-making has great potential to solve seasonal shortage of feed for ruminants in Nigeria by preserving excess forage produced during the wet season for use at the dry period. Furthermore, urea inclusion helps to improve fermentation properties and quality of silage. Therefore the main objective of this experiment was to assess the effect of urea treatment on quality of silage blend of sunflower and cassava peels. Sunflower and cassava peels were thoroughly mixed with varying levels of urea inclusion, compacted and ensiled for 21 days. After 21 days of ensiling period, silage samples were then opened and analyzed for chemical composition and fermentative characteristics. Results.....

ABSTRACT: Résumé Les exploitations agricoles familiales (EAF) constituent une source de subsistance pour les ménages. Dans le but de caractériser les EAF, une étude a été conduite dans la bande sud du Niger plus précisément dans les régions de Dosso, Maradi et Zinder. Une enquête a été menée dans trente-quatre (34) villages répartis dans six (6) communes dont deux (2) par région. Au total 510 exploitations ont été enquêtées selon la méthode de pas. La majorité des répondants (94,2%) sont des hommes ils détiennent en moyenne 5,33±4,34 ha par exploitation avec un ratio de 0,50±0,39 ha/individu. Les terres de culture sont acquises dans la plupart des cas par l'héritage (86,4%) et par achat (25%) avec aussi des variabilités inter-régionales. Néanmoins, 8,9% des répondants ne possèdent pas des terres propres. Le système de culture le plus pratiqué dans la zone d'étude est l'association mil + niébé (87%)......

ABSTRACT: The sustainable coordinated economic system between the society and regional government becomes one of the causes of the low disparity in natural resources management, especially in the agricultural sector. Kabawo and Parigi districts are two districts of development located in Muna Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. Both districts have an excellent prospect in agricultural commodities. This research aimed to know the potential development of superior agricultural commodities in both districts as the innovation and creativity food products in sustaining regional economy by the mobility of population between districts. This study used location quotient (LQ) analysis to determine the superior subsector or economic base of an economic area and descriptive qualitative......
