Speentyd is “oestyd” by ‘n kommersiële vleisbees boerdery. Ons behoort alles in ons vermoë te doen om hierdie aksie so glad as moontlik te laat verloop en die bes moontlike prys vir die kalwers te beding. Een van die eerste aksies wat geneem moet word in aanloop tot speentyd, is om vroegtydig die moontlike bemarkingsopsies te oorweeg. Die belangrikste […]

Hierdie twee toestande word dikwels in een asem genoem en as een en dieselfde siekte gesien, maar is twee heeltemal verskillende siektes. Daar is ’n verskil in die ontstaan, voorkoming, behandeling en prognose van hierdie twee toestande. Beide het ’n groot uitwerking op die produksie, voortplanting en welsyn van skape. Onderskeid tussen die twee kan […]
