French term or phrase: sauteraux
This is a report made out by a NGO on an area in Africa for which it is proposing a humanitarian project. At this point, it's giving the reasons for the shortage of fodder in the region. I'm finding many mistakes in the original, so I'm wondering if this shouldn't be "sauterelles" (locusts):

Le ministère de l’élevage et industries animales vient de publier son analyse du déficit fourrager qui est de 16.137.329 tonnes de matière sèche globalement, soit 67 % des besoins du cheptel national en Unité de Bétail Tropical (UBT).

Ce déficit est très marqué dans les zones de XXX, YYY, ZZZ et NNN malgré un apport des projets et ONG.

A cette situation, s’est rajoutée une mauvaise situation phytosanitaire (attaque d’insectes, oiseaux granivores, pucerons, sautereaux) sur les cultures et les pâturages, des inondations dans certaines localités et des foyers de maladies animales.

Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure it's a typo for sauterelles, grasshoppers.

neutral  polyglot45: well they probably mean locusts here and it is not strictly a typo // see reference below = alternative spelling

  -> You're quite right - swarming grasshoppers are called locusts, but I think sautereaux is a typo.

Explanation:
Typo/mistake not for 'sauterelles' but 'sauteriaux' [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauteriau]
It is more than your regular green grasshopper. These can be as scary as locusts!!
