Agropastoral practices have both positive and negative effects on the regeneration of agroecosystems. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of the faeces of different ruminants on the dissemination and germination of species according to their functional traits. Thus, the faeces of cattle (Bos indicus), goats (Capra hircus) and sheep (Ovis aries) were sampled in 15 repeats following three seasonal periods of the year in 45 enclosures in the Sahelian zone of Burkina Faso
