N2  - Organic materials are the most important sources of nutrients for agricultural production in farming systems of
semi-arid West Africa. However, reliance on locally available organic nutrient sources for both crop and livestock
production is rapidly becoming unsustainable. A series of feeding and agronomic trials have been conducted to
address the role of livestock in sustainable nutrient cycling. This paper reports results of a greenhouse study that
evaluated the effects of applying crop residue and browse leaves, or feces derived from these feeds, at equal
organic-N application rates (150 kg ha
