This study was conducted at the main livestock markets of the urban community of Niamey. It identified the non-zoo-technical parameters influencing the sale of cattle by wholesale traders. In the context of the study, sixteen (16) non-zoo-technical parameters were analyzed through multiple linear regression to determine their significance levels. The analysis resulted in seven (7) significant variables.
The results obtained revealed the importance of non zoothechnical variables in the process of selling cattle by wholesale traders. Thus, marital status (widowed) and education level (secondary and traditionally illiterate) showed a significant influence of 10% on sales. Cash payment and barter, the Koira Tegui market, and delivery after sale had a significant influence of 5% on sales. The variables of affiliation to an organization, the reason for purchase for breeding, and the location of the Tourakou market revealed a significant influence at 1%.
The conditions of significant variables are summarized by membership in an organization, livestock farming, widow status, the markets of Koira Tegui and Tourakou, levels of traditional literacy and secondary education, and payment in cash and by barter.
