ENGLISH
The herd was one of the first herds
of cattle to be tagged and be placed
onto the ID tags & GMPBasic system:
The animals arrived on Mr. Asmal's
farm in late 2006. Most of the
heifers and especially the cows were
in poor body condition. 2006 had
been a very dry year with many
animals across the country being in
poor body condition due to a general
lack of feed.
All animals were immediately treated
for internal and external parasites.
A whole spectrum of bacterial &
viral disease conditions were
prophylactically vaccinated for.
Despite these early efforts, some
cows were already too emaciated and
subsequently died. These losses were
however restricted and through a
process of feed support and sound
animal health care the herd's
condition improved dramatically.
During the next 18 months the
following treatments were applied by
Mr Asmal and these actions assisted
him to improve the status of the
herd within a short period
1. Pour - on remedy to control ticks
2. Vaccinations - Supavax
( Anthrax, Botulism, Clostridium )
Multiclos ( 8 types of
Clostridium diseases )
Bovilis Qarat ( BVD, IBR, PI3, BRSV
)
Lumpy skin disease
Bovitect P ( Pasteurella )
3. Deworming remedy - Fluxacur,
