🐾 What is Important in a Puppy Diet? 🐶

As a loving pet parent, ensuring your puppy gets the right nutrition is essential for their growth and development. Here are some key points to consider when choosing a diet for your puppy:

1. High Quality Protein: Look for a diet rich in quality protein sources to support muscle development.

2. Balanced Nutrients: Ensure the food contains a proper balance of carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals to promote overall health.

3. Appropriate Calorie Intake: Depending on the breed and puppies require high or low energy intake from their diet.

4. Digestibility: Opt for easily digestible ingredients to help your puppy absorb nutrients effectively and reduce gastrointestinal issues.

5. A Healthy Balance of Fats: Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids are great for skin, coat, brain development and eye health in puppies.

6. Portion Control: Be mindful of portion sizes to prevent overfeeding, which can lead to obesity and other health issues. Their tummies are only little!

7. Regular Veterinary Guidance: Consult with your vet for personalized dietary recommendations based on your puppy’s specific needs and growth stage.

Remember, a well-balanced diet sets the foundation for a happy, healthy life! 🐕❤️

Liver fluke infections cause severe damage in livestock from the time the animal ingest metacercaria (Infectious stage) until it is controlled (or until the adult liver fluke dies and this can take up to two years)

In cattle, about ± 25% of the metacercaria ingested reach the liver within 2 weeks to 85 days after ingestion.

In the case of sheep, up to as much as 80% of the metacercariae reach the liver during this time. The rest migrate through the body and cause damage to other organs.

Onthou dat voor-teel tyd belangrik is vir gesonde diere met hoë konsepsies!

Die siklus van “Conseption to Consumption” begin nie-amptelik met die voorbereiding van die koeie vir die dekseisoen, aangesien dit ‘n direkte invloed op suksesvolle bevrugting het.

Indien dinge nie hier vlot verloop nie, kan dit tot gevolg hê dat koeie nie beset gaan raak nie, of dat koeie eers baie laat in die dekseisoen beset raak. Uiteindelik lei dit tot ‘n verlengde interkalfperiode met gepaardgaande ekonomiese verlies, wat allermins bekostg kan word!

Die tema word in komende plasing aan die hand van die onderwerpe soos aangedui in meegaande skematiese voorstelling bespreek

Ticks are economically the most significant external parasites of livestock. Heavy infestations cause direct harm (blood loss, a reduced rate of live weight gain, a lower milk yield, and a degradation of hide quality) and indirect harm (tick-borne diseases such as redwater, heartwater, anaplasmosis, and sweating sickness).

Efficient tick control enables profitable stock farming. Without it, it would probably have been impossible to farm with cattle in many regions of South Africa where high tick populations of single- and multi-host ticks occur.

Rooiluis (Bovicola ovis, Bovicola limbata) is die belangrikste luisspesies by skape en bokke. Dit het ‘n groot ekonomiese impak op wol, haar en vleisproduksie.

‘n Ligte rooiluis infestasie (± 5000 rooiluise) kan binne 2-3 maande ‘n groot probleem word a.g.v hul kort lewensiklus

Insekgroeireguleerders (IGR's) , soos Trigger Strike word gebruik om luis getalle te verminder. Die produk dood nie luise op kontak nie , maar voorkom die ontwikkeling van onvolwasse luise teenwoordig in die vag tydens toediening asook dié wat in die volgende 20 weke gaan uitbroei.

The role of supplementing a digestive modifier in late pregnancy to limit loss of condition, should not be underestimated.

Poor quality and limited quantity of pasture can present major challenges in this phase. The inclusion of a digestion modifier as part of the supplement program, may be the answer.
