The Role of Animal Manure in Sustainable Soil Fertility Management in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Review

“…The use of animal manure for soil fertility amendment is also limited by the competing use of manure for domestic fuel. For instance, in a typical household in Ethiopia it was estimated that about 2000 kg (dry weight) of cattle manure is burned as domestic fuel (Rodriguez and Anderson, 1988). To maximize the availability of manure for soil fertility amendment an alternative strategy should be developed which can replace the use of manure for domestic fuel.…”
