Abstract Crop–livestock integration exploits the synergies between cropping and livestock systems, mainly by using animal excreta as an organic crop fertilizer or products feed. From environmental economic point of view, crop–livestock is thought to increase system autonomy resilience. However, little research has addressed its social impact particularly relationship crop-livestock work organization although, like most agroecological practices, was considered time- labor-intensive. Here we...
Abstract Social innovation is critical in shaping human-forest relationships and how farmers scientists engage with each other to design sustainability transitions. This paper reports on the outputs of a participatory stakeholders’ engagement platform that was designed draw local farmers’ knowledge experience identifying sustainable pathways for development multi-functional agroforestry Guadeloupe. Two workshops were organised aimed gain insights into reality faced by farmers, particular:...
This study aimed to evaluate the substitution of imported corn and soybean by local feed resources from tropical production settings such as entire green banana Gliricidia sepium forage energy protein sources, respectively, in sheep diets. Two experiments were conducted: first, a 'growth trial' second, an vivo digestion study. In trial', 40 Martinik lambs [body weight (BW): 29.4 +/- 3.6 kg; 6 months old) used distributed into four groups 10 each according treatment: HBGl (banana + gliricidia...
The Creole goat is a local meat breed well adapted to the tropical environment of Guadeloupe, French island in Caribbean. A survey 47 farmers was conducted May 2008 describe Guadeloupean farming systems. It preliminary step for implementation breeding programme goats. Farmers had 31 does on average. small number (4%) kept only Most them (62%) mixed herd and crossbreds. One-third (34%) reared crossbred appreciate rusticity resistance but consider its growth as too slow. most desired traits...
Small ruminants are very affected by gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) parasitism worldwide. The improvement of the host protective response and reduction probability contact between hosts parasites appear as promising strategies. objective this study was to evaluate effect a combination two components these strategies on natural GIN infection production performances Creole goat kids: dietary supplementation rotational mixed grazing system. One hundred twenty weaned kids six heifers were...
We evaluated the effects of infection with Haemonchus contortus on feed intake, digestibility, fecal egg count, circulating eosinophils, and packed cell volume in Creole kids differing genetic resistance (susceptible, S; resistant, R) to gastrointestinal parasitism maintained a similar level nutrition. The experiment was carried out during 2 periods 6 wk each immunity development stage. In first period (acquisition immunity; I), 22 naïve male (23.4 +/- 0.65 kg BW) were housed individual...
Les démarches de conception et d’évaluation systèmes d’élevage innovants en régions chaudes doivent prendre compte les spécificités ces systèmes. Outre caractéristiques des milieux, tiennent à l’importance fonctions non productives troupeaux la complexité modes gestion l’accès aux ressources (mobilité notamment). Nous discutons utilisant notions cristallisation, plasticité développement présentons bases l’évaluation (environnementale, filière, technico-économique) ses dans le processus...
Le développement de la population chèvres allaitantes et laitières accompagne l’accroissement humaine dans les zones tropicale intertropicale. Du fait leur grande adaptabilité, caprins y sont élevés une gamme étendue conditions agro-environnementales selon un large éventail systèmes production, souvent traditionnels peu artificialisés. Les potentialités des animaux multifonctionnalité mises en avant nombreux travaux scientifiques. Cette synthèse état lieux l’élevage caprin zone suggère...
Les principales zones d’élevage de la Martinique reçoivent moins 2 m d’eau par an, avec une saison sèche marquée. La zone plus importante est située sur le Périmètre Irrigué du Sud-Est (PISE : 10 % SAU l’île). L’objectif général Station d’Essais en Cultures Irriguées (SECI), qui dépend Conseil Général Martinique, mettre à disposition des agriculteurs et éleveurs PISE techniques adaptées l’environnement technico-économique local. SECI étudie depuis quinzaine d’année, soutien scientifique...
Dans la Caraïbe, le mode de production animale plus répandu est l’élevage au pâturage. Différents travaux menés sur l’exploitation du pangola (Digitaria decumbens) par les chèvres Créoles à viande en Guadeloupe sont présentés. Le troupeau conduit toute l’année pâturage façon intensive (conduite reproduction, prophylaxie, fertilisation, irrigation, charge animale).
 La système allaitant valorise fourrager testé (1385 kg sevrés/ha) et intensif permet l’expression potentiel ce génotype...
Abstract The litter size (LS), or its equivalent the number of kids born in (NB), Creole goats Guadeloupe was studied by two procedures. first approach considered LS as a single trait and characteristic mother litter, an univariate animal model (UAM). second procedure treated NB, individual birth weight (BW) loss (LK) traits belonging to animals their dam, multitrait (MAM). heritability for genetic direct effect ( h 2 ) estimated UAM (0·14) 40% lower than corresponding value NB MAM. most...
Les performances animales et les productions par unité de surface cinq systèmes d’exploitation prairies irriguées pangola (Digitaria decumbens) ont été étudiées durant deux années en Martinique (FWI) : agneaux ou agnelles "Martinik" croissance pâturant seuls, génisses Brahman seules, associés aux bovins. charges poids métabolique (PM=PV0,75) identiques entre varié 488 536 kgPM/ha. L’association bovins avec des ovins a permis une augmentation la ovins, particulier pour mâles (+ 13 %)....
