READVeeplaas November 2025
In die hoofartikel van Veeplaas se November 2025-uitgawe kyk ons na die stand van werksgeleenthede in die landbousektor soos weerspieël in Statistieke SA se tweede-kwartaal verslag van 2025. Hoewel die formele sektor steeds die meeste werksgeleenthede bied, toon data dat landbou steeds ’n belangrike werkgewer is. Tegnologiese ontwikkeling en outomatisering verander egter vinnig die aard van werk op plase. Ons lees ook van siektes wat jong Angorabokke bedreig en hoe die bedryf se waarnemingsnetwerk help om siektetendense vroeg te identifiseer. Parasiete, longontsteking en klostridiale infeksies bly van die grootste uitdagings, maar monitering, entstowwe en beter bestuur speel ’n sleutelrol in die beskerming van dieregesondheid. Die keuse van die regte melkstal is baie belangrik vir ’n melkprodusent se winsgewendheid en doeltreffendheid, aangesien dit koeigesondheid, arbeidsdoeltreffendheid, voerbeheer en langtermynwins beïnvloed. In Suid-Afrika is die draaitafel, statiese stalle soos die visgraat- of parallelle stelsel, en oorswaai-melkstalle die gewildste opsies, elk met unieke voordele en uitdagings. Ook in Veeplaas November 2025 • ’n Risiko-ontleding van die rooivleisbedryf. • Hennie Jonker se geïntegreerde boerdery. • Bertus en Roux Steenkamp se Witdorper-wenners. • Kemin en Zoetis bied rigtingwysers vir voerkraalvolhoubaarheid. • Thabazimbi-beesskool: Klimaatslim-oplossings. • Vertikale groei in die lamkraal. • Jackie Vorster, Jersey-stoetbestuurder. • Chemiese gevare in veevoer. • Lesse uit wild se weidingsgewoontes. • Wanneer om te speen. • Zinabos Bonsmaras se twee Diamantbulle. • Strategiese voorkoming van DDS en knopvelsiekte. • Strategieë vir bosluisbestuur. • En vele meer!
