Summary

This paper presents an economic evaluation of beef cattle production systems on pasture in Nigeria, using annual equivalent cash flow methodology to assess financial performance. The work appears to contribute to understanding the economic viability of pasture-based livestock production in West African farming contexts. As an economic rather than nutritional or soil-science study, it addresses profitability and system sustainability from a financial perspective.

Regional applicability

This study is based on Nigerian agricultural and economic conditions, which differ substantially from United Kingdom beef production systems (scale, feed costs, market prices, and pasture ecology). However, the cash flow methodology may be transferable to UK pasture-based beef evaluations; direct findings on profitability would require adaptation to UK input costs and market conditions.

Key measures

Annual equivalent cash flows, likely including gross margins, net present value, or cost–benefit ratios for pasture-based beef cattle production

Outcomes reported

The study evaluated the economic performance of beef cattle production on pasture using annual equivalent cash flow analysis. Financial metrics were likely calculated to assess the profitability and viability of pasture-based beef systems.
