BEK-EN-KLOUSEER – WAT IS NUUT?
`n Nuwe jaar beteken ook dikwels nuwe dinge, maar ongelukkig sit ons aan die begin van die jaar steeds met Bek-en-Klouseer (BEK) wat oorgespoel het vanaf verlede jaar.
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE – WHAT IS NEW?
A new year often means new things, but unfortunately, at the beginning of the year, we are still faced with Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), which has spilt over from last year.
FMD SEEDS FOR CULTIVATED PASTURES RELIEF
Many producers are currently unable to move their animals due to FMD. They are running out of pasture and are left with weaned calves that cannot be marketed.
BEK Saad vir aangeplante weiding HULP
Baie produsente kan tans nie hulle diere skuif nie weens BEK. Hulle hardloop uit weiding uit en sit met speenkalwers wat nie bemark kan word nie.
