Supplementary feeding to cattle and sheep can increase your turnover. However, when used incorrectly advantages can be diminished. It is therefore important to make sure which type of supplementation is best suited for the current season, your particular veld and your animals. Why phosphorous/phosphate supplementation in the green season? In the summer months, also called the green season in Namibia, the most common lick used by small stock and large stock farmers is a salt and phosphate lick. Phosphate is a source of phosphorous. Research has shown that with green pastures in Namibia, the… Read More

Diere gesondheid: Maak seker ooie is 4 weke voor lamtyd geënt om immuniteit via biesmelk aan lammers oor te dra. Maak voerbakke gereeld skoon deur mis, stof en meel te verwyder. Sorg vir skoon water. Infrastruktuur Genoeg VREETSPASIE vir ooie en lammers te alle tye, veral sodra die lammers sterker begin vreet!. Voorsien skaduwee in die somer vir lammers op kraal. Voeding: Verseker voldoende biesmelkkwaliteit en optimale melkproduksie met lamtyd deur ooie die laaste drie weke voor lam met ‘n Feedmaster deurvloeiproteïen produk of ‘n lek te help. Begin met kruipvoer binne 10… Read More

Die vreet van hare en wol is meestal die gevolg  van 'n ernstige proteien- en/of sinktekort. Die mees waarskynlike oorsaak van hare en wol vreet gedurende die winter is ‘n proteïentekort, want die diere is opsoek na proteïen terwyl hare en wol suiwer proteïen is. Dikwels word haarballe in die grootpens van hierdie skape aangetref. In ‘n mindere mate gebeur dit ook as daar ‘n sinktekort voorkom. Die aanbeveling is dat beide proteïen en spoorelemente aangevul word Gedurende die wintermaande is die weiding droog en het dit ‘n tekort aan proteïen. Die mikro-organismes in die grootpens van… Read More

Why the need for Protein Supplements? In ruminants, the rumen fulfils the need for a fermentation cask. The volume of an adult rumen varies from animal to animal, but it is usually in the vicinity of 4 to 10 litres in sheep and 100 to 300 litres in cattle. In as early as 1891, researchers indicated that a lack of protein in the feed brings about a decrease in digestibility of particularly the fibrous parts of feed. Ruminants, and not single-stomach animals, use microbes (bacteria and protozoa) to help them digest food to a certain extent, and later the animal digests the more easily… Read More
