Wat maak Enermol uniek en anders as ander energiebronne-?
Enermol is ‘n hoë gehalte energieproduk van Feedmaster en is saamgestel uit -± 70% koringsemels, ± 25% molassestroop en ʼn klein persentasie voerkalk. Koringsemels in die produk verskaf die nodige koolhidrate aan die herkouer, maar dit is heelwat veiliger as grane wat hoog is in stysel (bv. mieliemeel). Herkouers wat te veel grane vreet is geneig om lank by die voerkrip te lê omdat grasvertering nie optimaal is nie. Enermol stimuleer die ontwikkeling van die veselverterende mikrobe populasie wat nodig is om gras te verteer wat die hoof… Read More

Diere wat vanaf ‘n oorwegende ruvoer dieet soos veldweiding oorgaan na ‘n volvoer, moet geleidelik op die nuwe voer aangepas word. Die rumenbakterieë moet eers kans kry om by die nuwe voer aan te pas, want ‘n volvoer het altyd ‘n hoër proteïen- en energiewaarde as veldweiding.
Diere wat met ‘n volvoer uitgegroei of voorberei word vir skoue of veilings loop die gevaar om suurpens of asidose te ontwikkel tydens die voerproses. Selfs diere wat goed aangepas en al ‘n geruime tyd op dieselfde volvoer was, kan suurpens ontwikkel sodra daar afgewyk word van die daaglikse voeraptroon.
Voer elke dag… Read More

Change in the present farming business is inevitable now more than 50 years back. With the global environment playing an all bigger part and influencing the on-farm decision making, change cannot be ignored in any way. In the previous Agra Ring publication (Dec ‘16/Jan ’17) the focus was on-change in general.
Figure 1 shows the behavioural change within persons and the nett result of all communication and actions with the influence of positive and negative forces, changing from an existing horizon (present level of intervention) to a new level of intervention, de Klerk and Düvel (1982).… Read More
