Abstract
A study was carried out at Igboora, South-western Nigeria from 2010-2011 to examine the effect of sole use of poultry and pig manures and their fortification with N fertilizer on performance of maize. The treatments were poultry manure (P) 5 t/ha, Swine manure (S) 5 t/ha, P 2.5 t/ha + 0.2 t urea/ha, S 2.5 t/ha + 0.2 t urea/ha and control. Poultry manure was higher in nutrients than Swine manure. The manures significantly (P
