Abstract

Small ruminant production systems are described for the humid areas of southern Nigeria. Differences in ownership patterns between men and women are detailed and the unique nature of small ruminants among agricultural resources is emphasized. Development paths that maintain small ruminants in their positions as minor enterprises in existing farming systems are delineated, and the implications of these models discussed in the light of intra-household processes. Alternative models are reviewed and compared.
