Cattle farming is directly impacted by climate change (CC), as it utilizes resources whose seasonality and productivity are strongly climate-dependent. Farmers respond to the negative influence of CC implementing different adaptation strategies, where choices informed many factors. This study aims at analyzing strategies cattle farmers in dry tropical zone (DTZ) sub-humid (STZ) Benin with regard change, well determinants for choice these strategies. For that matter, 360 were surveyed. Data...
Feed availability and accessibility are two of the main challenges for Benin livestock systems, which currently subject to environmental stress changing climatic conditions. The aim this study was assess fodder resources used by in estimating supply demand Benin's agroecological zones (AEZs) establishing a balance. A total 314 agrofarmers were surveyed using simple random sampling. Data collected through discussions with agropastoralists, structured questionnaires, secondary data...
Context The effectiveness of adaptation strategies employed by women small ruminant farmers to combat climate change depends on the accuracy their perceptions. However, these women’s perceptions are not well understood and seldom considered in policies. Aims aim this study is analyze herders ruminants effects four communes northern Benin. Methods A total 120 were purposefully selected surveyed. Sociodemographic parameters perception rates analyzed using a multinomial logit model understand...
Understanding farmers’ breeding systems and preferred traits is crucial for establishing effective genetic improvement programs. This study investigated Gudali cattle breed selection, objectives, selection criteria in North-east Benin (Malanville Tchaourou). We surveyed 120 farmers using a structured questionnaire conducted hierarchical clustering R software. identified the distribution of based on herd composition production systems. Farmers were grouped into four classes: Sedentary...
Une fausse perception du changement climatique peut entraîner une absence d’adaptation ou mauvaise adaptation, augmentant ainsi la vulnérabilité à ce changement. Cependant très peu d’études se sont intéressées cette question, surtout chez les éleveurs. Cette étude compare des éleveurs de bovins zones tropicales sèche et subhumide Bénin avec données climatiques 40 dernières années. À cet effet, 360 ont été interrogés dans ces zones. Les collectées relatives aux caractéristiques...
To characterize the cattle herds in transhumance classified forest of upper Alibori (CFUA) north Benin, an investigation 132 with a total 11,020 head was carried out. Using methods factorial analysis multiple correspondences (FAMC) and ascending hierarchical classification (AHC), typology four types transhumant were established. Cattle type 1 (17.5% sample) riparian CFUA. They led by young herdsmen (17 ± 3 years), all parents herds’ managers to whom they use make decisions concerning these...
Knowledge about dairy cows raised in small-scale agroforestry systems dryland areas is of paramount importance to inform policy and decision making the production sector current context climate change. The aim this study was evaluate effect integrated farming on daily milk yield demographic traits drylands. A conducted 447 carried out compare their parameters under different drylands Benin: traditional silvopasture (TSS); Improved (ISS); Small Integrated Agrosilvopasture (SIAS) Large (LIAS)....
Cattle farmers are developing adaptation strategies to deal with the effects of climate change. Understanding how affects livestock productivity is, therefore, essential in order identify and prioritize optimal strategies. Yet, few studies have addressed this issue. This study aims fill gap, by assessing developed cattle Benin affect productivity. We conducted surveys 360 monitored 30 farms Benin’s dry sub humid tropical zones. collected data on socio demographic characteristics farmers,...
Documentation on the domestic geese (Anser anser) in Benin is scarce, making it objectively difficult to exploit. Its production depends small flocks raised by livestock farmers different areas. The aim of study was describe phenotypic and morphometric characteristics encountered northern Benin. To this end, a total 576 adult (353 males 223 females) from 102 farms 4 agro-ecological zones were evaluated for 11 quantitative 5 qualitative body traits. There are 6 plumage colors with white...
Dans de nombreux pays, les pratiques agroforestières ont été proposées pour lutter contre la dégradation des terres et le changement climatique. Parmi ces figure l’agro-sylvo-pastoralisme sylvopastoralisme qui constituent puits carbone (C). Cependant, informations sont rares sur potentiel C au Bénin. L’objectif cette étude était d’évaluer stock deux avec chacune variantes : petit agro-sylvo-pastoralisme (PAS), sylvopastoralismes (PSV), grand (GSV), (GAS). Les données collectées...
Au Bénin, une typologie de quatre groupes d’éleveurs a été établie sur la base des deux pratiques agroforestières (agrosylvopastoralisme et sylvopastoralisme) en lien avec l'adaptation au changement climatique. Il s’agit : petits agrosylvopasteurs (Groupe 1 PAS), sylvopasteurs 2 PSV), grands 3 GSV), enfin 4 GAS). Les effets ces productivité du bétail ont évalués connus. Cependant, informations les l’émission gaz à effet serre (GES) font défaut. Ainsi, présente étude permet combler cette...
Le changement climatique constitue une menace pour l’élevage en raison de ses conséquences sur les performances des animaux et la disponibilité ressources pastorales. Les systèmes sylvopastoraux agrosylvopastoraux sont solutions concilier production animale durable climatique. Ce document synthétise littérature existante diversité ces d’élevage dans zones savanes régions côtières d’Afrique l’Ouest, leurs contributions à l’adaptation l’atténuation du climatique, ainsi qu’à l’amélioration...
Djidja est l’une des plus grandes communes productrices agricoles du département Zou au sud Bénin. De par ses ressources fourragères et hydriques, elle devenue une destination éleveurs transhumants. Les mouvements transhumants continuent de s’étendre, même que les séjours dans cette zone d’accueil s’allongent. L’étude a eu pour objectif global d’élaborer le calendrier pastoral la carte transhumance fréquentant commune. Des entretiens semi-structurés ont été conduits auprès 300 acteurs...
