“…La sensibilité au genre dans l'organisation autour du lait apparaît également dans les constats faits par Iyayi et al (2003) avec les agro-pasteurs Nigérians, et qui rapportèrent que la conduite du troupeau et la traite sont des activités exclusivement masculines, alors que la transformation et la vente du lait sont majoritairement réservées aux femmes, dans les centres périurbains du Sud-Ouest du pays. Pour certains auteurs, le contrôle de la traite par les hommes spécialement dans les sociétés pastorales comme les Maasai du Kenya et les Peuls du Nigéria est une façon d'assurer une croissance raisonnable au veau qui est en compétition avec la quantité de lait réservé à la consommation humaine.…”

“…Comme le mentionnent encore Somda et al (2005), le lait n'est pas seulement source de revenus pour les femmes, mais aussi pour tout le ménage. Chez les petits producteurs laitiers du Nigéria et du Kenya, comme dans le cas de cette étude, le lait est produit initialement pour la consommation de la famille, mais aussi pour la vente en vue de financer des urgences d'argent et pour le statut social (Bebe et al, 2003;Iyayi et al, 2003).…”

REMERCIEMENTS Les auteurs tiennent à exprimer leur gratitude à la Coopération Technique Belge (CTB) pour avoir financé cette recherche par l'octroi de la bourse de doctorat mixte. RÉSUMÉLa population pastorale et agro-pastorale du Bénin détient presque la totalité du cheptel bovin national. Le lait constitue le produit le plus fréquent issu de l'élevage bovin. Une enquête a été menée dans la commune de Kalalé au sein de 16 ménages peuls afin de comprendre l'organisation de ces ménages dans la gestion du lait. Il ressort que l'organisation autour du capital lait est genre sensible: l'homme aussi bien que la femme, dans leurs rôles respectifs, contribuent à assurer la pérennité du capital bétail. Le lait est géré de façon à privilégier la consommation du ménage et à assurer la reproduction du troupeau. La rémunération du travail fournit ainsi que l'équité dans la distribution des richesses au sein du ménage peul octroi aux femmes qui sont dans le troupeau plus de bénéfices issues du lait provenant du troupeau familial. La disponibilité des produits laitiers dépend de la saison et du milieu. Le lait prévu pour la consommation humaine est gérée de sorte à avoir, une utilisation optimale du lait et de la viande, afin de combler les besoins actuels des membres du ménage, d'assurer la reproduction des biens du ménage, avant d'alimenter le marché de produits laitiers. © 2015 International Formulae Group.

Dairy products valorization in Fulani households of North Eastern Benin ABSTRACTPastoral and agro pastoral population of Benin holds almost all the national cattle herd. Milk is the most commonly product derived from cattle and its sale provides cash income to Fulani woman. A survey was conducted in Kalalé district within sixteen Fulani households to understand their milk management's organization. The organization around milk capital is gender sensitive. Man as well as woman, in their respective roles, help to ensure sustainability of livestock capital. Milk is managed to favor household consumption and ensure the herd's reproduction. Labor compensation and equity in wealth distribution within Fulani household granted to women who are in the herd more profits from milk of the family herd. Dairy products availability depends on the season and the area. The expected milk for human consumption is R. CHABI TOKO et al. / Int. J. Biol. Chem. Sci. 9(6): 2716-2726, 2015 2717 managed so as to have an optimal use of milk and meat in order to meet the current needs of household members, to ensure the household goods' reproduction before supplying dairy market.

“…Fulani pastoralists still dominate cattle production in Nigeria, mostly as transhumant agro-pastoralists practicing seasonal movements of cattle from a permanent base (Azuwike and Enwerem 2010;Iyayi et al 2003;Blench 2001). The Fulani in Nigeria include the following: settled Fulani (many of whom are descendants of the aristocratic elite of what was previously known as Hausaland), semi-sedentary Fulani (often agro-pastoralists) and a minority group of nomadic pastoral Fulani subsisting entirely off their herds.…”

Patterns of passage into protected areas: Drivers and outcomes of Fulani immigration, settlement and integration into the Kachia Grazing Reserve, northwest Nigeria

et al. 2018

Increasing land use and associated competition for natural resources in the wake of high human and livestock population pressures have been major challenges confronting pastoralists of West Africa. This is especially true in Nigeria where Fulani make up 4% of the national population and prevailing national insecurity issues are impacting on pastoral livelihoods, including violent conflicts over land and ethnic, religious and political disparities. This study examined the dynamics of immigration within the Kachia Grazing Reserve (KGR), an exclusively Fulani pastoralist community in Kaduna State, northwest Nigeria, prompted by concerns from both the farming communities and the authorities about mounting pressure on existing limited resources, particularly in regard to availability of cattle grazing resources. Drawing from a household census conducted in 2011 and employing a range of qualitative methods (focus group discussions and key informant interviews), this study explored the drivers and consequences of immigration and subsequent integration within the KGR community. The study revealed two types of immigration: a steady trickle of pastoralists migrating to the reserve to settle and acquire land, secure from the stresses of competition from cultivators, and the sudden influx of internally displaced persons fleeing violent clashes in their areas of origin. Population pressure within the reserve has risen steadily over the past three decades, such that it is severely overgrazed (as evidenced by reports from the KGR community that the animals run short of pasture even during the wet season due to desertification and the spread of non-edible weeds). The newer immigrants, fleeing conflict, tended to arrive in the reserve with significantly larger herds than those kept by established residents. Pastoralists in the reserve have been forced back into the practice of seasonal transhumance in both wet and dry seasons to support their herds, with all the attendant risks of theft, clashes with cultivators and increased disease transmission.

“…This, also, corroborates the reports of Waters-Bayer (1988), who noted that, agropastoralists have preference for White Fulani (Bunaji) cattle because of their reputation for higher milk production, faster growth rate, large body size and good temperament. Again, Iro (1994), Iyayi et al (2003) and Olanite et al (2003) also stated that, the slow maturing Sokoto Gudali cow and the lyre-horned, White Fulani cattle are the mainstay of the pastoral Fulani holdings. White and Wickens (1976) disclosed that, the White Fulani, though less hardy, has higher milk and beef yield compared to Sokoto Gudali.…”
