Description
Relationships existing between cropping systems and livestock production provide the basis for technical and socioeconomic decisions in agricultural enterprises. Primov et al. (1987) reported that livestock was an integral part of crop production strategies in Abda plains of Morocco. A nation wide survey indicated that grain cereals and livestock production contributed equally to total agriculture output and 41.2 % of energy required by animals came from cereal grain and byproducts; bran, straw, and stubble (Amine and Rami, 1986). Characterization of production systems for both crops and livestock and their associations was the objective of this study.
