title: Productivity of White Fulani cattle on the Jos Plateau, Nigeria. IV. Economic factors.
abstract: All the herds surveyed were relatively unproductive as regards fertility, growth rates, offtake and milk production with the exception of one herd which received a significant amount of dry season supplementation. It is suggested that the provision of supplementary feeds would be a simple and relatively inexpensive method of improving traditional management.
