dcterms.descriptionEl Hadji Khaly Dieye, who works with a regional livestock service in Senegal, informs us : 'In my district, farmer-herders collect ox urine in a bucket, especially in the morning, and then they soak seeds in it for fifteen to twenty minutes before sowing them. They do this with souna millet, sorghum and niébé. It stops any type of parasite from attacking the seeds in the soil.' Our correspondent would like to know which constituents of ox urine have a repellent effect on parasites. Readers with useful information can contact him at : BP 12, Thilogne, Senegal; or through Spore.en
