Sussex en Sussex-kruisbeeste presteer in die voerkraal
In vandag se hoogs mededingende beesvleisbedryf is doeltreffendheid en voeromset van groot belang. Sussex- en Sussex-kruisbeeste bewys keer op keer hul waarde in voerkrale regoor Suid-Afrika.
Genomiese status van die Sussex-populasie
Genomika en die vermoë om ‘n dier se unieke DNS-volgorde vas te lê, het ‘n hoeksteen van stoetteling geword. Meer as 50 000 DNS-merkers bekend as enkelnukleotiedpolimorfismes (SNP’s) word op ‘n genomiese skyfie (genotipe) geanaliseer en staan populêr bekend as die ‘alles-in-een’ DNS-toets.
Die Sussex: Waardetoevoeging tot ’n mielieboerdery
Toenemende klem word in Sussex-kringe gelê op die belangrike rol van kommersiële graanprodusente wat hul boerdery met ‘n beesvertakking aanvul.
Economics of Sussex Cattle
Various reasons may be quoted as to why a rancher must consider a specific breed in his crossbreeding program. Many of these attributes are difficult to quantify, and the economic benefits are only sometimes clear. Sussex cattle, however, possess qualities of which the economic benefits are easily measured.
Investigating the Sussex Breed
Sussex cattle are considered one of the oldest and purest English breeds and were favoured by breeders due to quality of their flesh and fineness of their hides.
Large Herd Management
The Bloukruin mega-farm group belongs to Mr Gilly Scheepers and family and is an icon of success in the Eastern Free State. Based in the broader Fouriesburg, Paul Roux, Bethlehem, and Ficksburg region, their farming activities include crops, fruit, cattle, sheep, and egg production.
Understanding EPDS
Consider the theory behind the BLUP (Best Linear Unbiased Prediction) equation. If you’re like me, seeing something like this is like looking at a website coder’s computer screen. A feeling of awe overcomes you, and in that moment, you’ll trust absolutely anything you’re told.
Sussex X Beefmaster adds Value
The farming enterprise of Chris Pretorius and his son Dr Johan Pretorius is situated between Harrismith and Verkykerskop in the Free State. Prior to this, the family owned a large dairy farm on the outskirts of Kokstad.
Brief History of Sussex Cattle in Southern Africa
About two thousand years ago Southern England was covered in beech and oak forest. In this region lived a race of Red Cattle that were found there at the time of the Roman invasion.
Ekonomie van die Sussex op die veld én in die voerkraal
Ekonomie van die Sussex op die veld én in die voerkraal Verskeie eienskappe kan genoem word as redes waarom ’n beesprodusent ’n spesifieke ras moet oorweeg vir sy kruisteelprogram. Sommige van hierdie eienskappe is egter moeilik meetbaar en daar kan nie aldag met oortuiging bewys word hoe dié skuif ’n produsent finansieel gaan baat nie. Read More
