Fulani noun[ C or U ] uk /fuːˈlɑː.ni/ us /fuːˈlɑː.ni/pluralFulani or Fulanis a type of cow with long horns, kept mainly in Nigeria for its meat: In the wet season, the Fulani cattle graze the savannah grasses and fallow fields. For an average Fulani herd of 50 cattle, a fenced area of four hectares is sown with legumes to be grazed by the animals. These experiments were carried out using an ox of the Fulani breed and wild flies from the nearby Vina du Nord river valley. From our observations on Fulani bulls, animals often developed an ability to pull 12-15% over their body weight without showing any signs of unwillingness to work. During the dry months, some nomad families bring their Fulani cattle down from the north. Ideally, the harvest should be completed before the Fulani herds are driven from the Saharan pastures to their dry-season reserves.
