“…The low level of education of the breeders did not allow a proper use of the acaricide. These results were in agreement with those of Alkoiret et al (2011) who reported in a survey on the typology of cattle farms in the commune of Ouaké in north-west of Benin that 45.4%-92.9% of breeders were untrained illiterates. In these situations, breeders treated cattle without taking into account dose of acaricide prescribed and without measuring the consequences for the animal, the environment and their own health.…”

| The tick Rhipicephalus microplus is an external parasite of livestock that is present in tropical and subtropical regions. It causes significant economic losses to cattle breeder directly through its destructive actions and indirectly by transmission of pathogens to livestock. In this study, we assessed the impact of Rhipicephalus microplus ticks on animal performance and identify control measures. Breeders were surveyed in Mono, Zou and Borgou departments with a rate of 60%, 63% and 67% of Peulhs on the total population of breeders'. The effect of ticks on milk production was influential in the department of Borgou where 65% of the breeders estimated that the decrease in milk production was linked to animal infestation by ticks against 46% and 41.10% respectively in the departments of Mono and Zou. A similar pattern was observed concerning the decrease in the live weight of the animals 63.75%, 58% and 45.21 %, respectively. In breeding farms, two types of products are adopted: traditional products and chemicals that are use against the ticks. As they are looking for efficient, accessible and less costly means, breeders use traditional products of control such as red oil, red oil mix with salt, black soap, seawater, plant, bush fire and also manual dipping. Chemical products used are essentially pyrethroids, amidine and phenylpyrazoles. The assessments of current study highlight that for most breeders ticks display negative impacts on livestock productivity and the current way to control are not efficient. It is important to put in place a better tick control strategy.

“…Les différents paramètres collectés ne représentent qu'en partie la réalité des troupeaux bovins béninois. Les données existantes sur les troupeaux bovins traditionnels ne concernent que la commune de Gogounou (Alkoiret et al, 2009 ;Alkoiret et al, 2010a) ou ne sont pas actualisées (Dehoux et Hounsou-Vè, 1993). Cette étude vise ainsi à fournir des données récentes sur des troupeaux bovins traditionnels (élevés de manière extensive sur parcours naturels) dans la partie du pays où ils sont concentrés pour leur prise en compte dans des actions concernant le développement de l'élevage bovin au Bénin.…”

L’étude a été menée auprès de 150 éleveurs peuls dans les départements du Borgou et de l’Alibori au Bénin. Elle a eu pour objectif de déterminer les paramètres zootechniques des élevages traditionnels de bovins. L’enquête a permis de recueillir les informations sur les caractéristiques des troupeaux bovins. Les résultats ont montré une forte proportion de femelles (76 %), une taille moyenne des troupeaux (66 animaux) et la prévalence de la race Borgou (86 %). Les troupeaux ont par ailleurs présenté de faibles performances d’élevage, caractérisées par un taux important de mortalité des veaux (10 %), et de faibles paramètres de reproduction, avec des taux de mise bas et de fécondité de 64 %. Au cours d’une année, 0,57 veau est en moyenne sevré par sa mère. Les faibles performances des élevages bovins dans les pays côtiers comme le Bénin concordent avec celles des régions pastorales qui sont complémentaires en termes d’approvisionnement des marchés ouest africains en viande.

“…For example, in the vicinity of some towns in northwestern Benin, there are small-scale livestock farms belonging to businessmen (Alkoiret et al 2011;Droy and Bidou, 2015: 78). Around Parakou, the metropolis of northern Benin, some private actors are also involved in breeding exotic cattle species known for good milk performance.…”

“…Their proven nutritional value and stimulating effect on milk production, helps herders face the major difficulties of accessing pasture during these periods (Bouraïma, 2006;Houéhanou, 2006;Awohouedji, 2008;Alkoiret et al 2009;Degbohouet, 2010). Some tree forage species are also preserved by pastoralists for their medicinal values for which leaves, seeds and bark are involved in treating animal diseases and providing various forms of veterinary care (Alkoiret et al 2009: 87).…”
