Weiveld aksies
Dit gaan nie anders op ‘n wildplaas, as op ‘n veeplaas nie. Die hoofdoel in droogtetye is om die vee of wild aan die lewe te hou sodat die kernkudde kan oorleef. Daar word nie van produksie gepraat nie, maar van oorlewing van die diere. Wat is die strategie daarna sodra die eerste reëndruppels geval het? Die fokus moet op die natuurlike hulpbron wees, hoe moeilik dit ook al is. Dit is nie wat ons op die bogrond sien waaraan ons aandag moet gee nie, maar dit wat onder die grond is, naamlik die wortels van die plante en die grond oppervlakte. Indien daar tekens is van polveld… Read More

Importance of roughage during the dry season
Providing roughage in a drought situation is a given and extremely necessary for the survival of ruminants. Ruminants have a complex four-stomach digestive system that relies on roughage to maintain proper digestion and overall health. They will always need roughage as part of their daily nutritional source as roughages provide the necessary fiber that promotes rumination and ensures the proper functioning of the microbial populations in the rumen.
Microbes in the rumen break down complex carbohydrates found in roughages into simpler compounds… Read More

Dear Equestrian community
When it comes to feeding your horse, we want to make things easier; therefore, Equibran mash will now be replaced with Equibran pellets, which can be used as a complementary feed with a balanced horse feed. This product can be fed dry or soaked in water, allowing for more flexibility and a lower chance of choking when the product has not been moistened by mistake.
Equibran offers an optimal fiber source with high-quality protein and is a natural source of phosphorus. Equibran, also known as digestive wheat bran, is low in starch and high in digestible fibre. It… Read More

Droogtes in Namibië word beskou as die hoof oorsaak van onstabiele diereproduksie en dus moet droogtes as sodanig 'n fundamentele aspek wees wat altyd in ag geneem moet word tydens die beplanning van langtermyn produksie doelwitte en strategieë. Omdat veld weiding in Namibië die goedkoopste bron van voeding vir herkouers is, sal die beskerming en bewaring van hierdie natuurlike hulpbron die middelpunt moet vorm waarom droogte strategieë beplan moet word.
Die beplanning van droogtevoeding strategieë moet twee verskillende tipes droogtes in ag neem, nl:
die normale en voorspelbare… Read More

The remaining lambs must be marketed as soon as possible. Vaccinate rams before breeding season. The testicles of all rams must be palpated to diagnose Epididimites(Ramsiekte). Remove and slaughter rams being diagnosed to prevent the spreading of Epididimites.
February
Dose all sheep, goats and rams against Nose worm. Switch to Feedmaster Futterfos P 6 or Feedmaster Phosphate Block on green pastures.… Read More
