Comparaison de deux systèmes d'exploitation des pâturages au Haut-Lomami (Shaba), Zaïre

Comparison of two pastures exploitation systems in Upper-Lomani (Shaba) Zaire. In this paper, the authors compare the pasture exploitation system of two neighbourghing ranches in the country of Upper-Lomami (Shaba), Zaire. The two ranches are : "La Pastorale du haut-Lomami", and "Grands Elevages de Katongola" (Grelka). They show the influence of the number of fires, of the periodicity of cattle introducing periods and of the pasture rotation system on the efficiency and improvement of those pastures.
