Soos ons dit sien : positiewe seine te bespeur
Die positiewe boodskap wat deur al die sprekers op die onlangse algemene jaarvergadering van die Melkprodusente-organisasie (MPO) by Aldam in die Vrystaat uitgedra is, was 'n vars briesie te midde van baie moeilike internasionale ekonomiese omstandighede. Sprekers was deur die bank positief dat die medium termyn gunstig vir melkprodusente behoort te wees, sou onvoorsiene omstandighede nie voorval nie.
Strength in unity. That is where the dairy industry's biggest strength - and weakness - lies. The successes achieved by local milk producers working together in farmer controlled groups to regain control over some of the aspects that lie between the farm and factory gate, bear testimony to this.

Suiweluitvoere gedurende die eerste sewe maande van 2009, was 13% meer as gedurende die ooreenstemmende tydperk in 2008. Produsentepryse in September 2009 was 6% hoër as gedurende September 2008. Internasionale produkpryse, met die uitsondering van kaas- en botterpryse, het sedert Januarie 2009 matig gestyg. (Saamgestel met finansiële ondersteuning van Melk SA).
Pas jou toerusting op!
Nes 'n goeie motor onklaar kan raak sonder die nodige onderhoud en instandhouding, kan geen melkstal sonder deurlopende instandhouding optimaal funksioneer nie.
Get the group gears grinding

Many farmers believe that without taking back control over their own product, they are at the mercy of whoever buys their milk. Through farmer controlled groups - also referred to as farmer controlled business - it is possible to regain control over some of the aspects that lie between the farm and factory gate.

Die Internasionale Suiwelfederasie (ISF) se jaarlikse World Dairy Situation-verslag, is onlangs tydens die ISF se Wêreldsuiwelspitsberaad in Berlyn bekend gestel. In haar oorsig oor die huidige marksituasie, het Monika Wohlfarth van die Duitse Suiwelmoniteringsagentskap, aangedui dat markte in 2008 uit balans uit was.
Die Melkprodusente-organisasie se Instituut vir Suiweltegnologie (IST) tesame met sy vennote, voorsien landwyd die nuutste inligting en tegnologie aangaande melkbeesboerdery aan kommersiële melkprodusente. By die suiwelinligtingsdae word relevante en nuwe inligting aangaande melkgehalte, dieregesondheid, melkaantekening, voeding, weiding en melkwinning voorsien. Werkers van kommersiële melkprodusente word opgelei in melkhigiëne, melkwinning, hittewaarneming en dieregesondheid. Kontak Jas Wasserman vir werkeropleiding by 082 490 2465 of jas@mpo.co.za.
A new vibe marks the way MPO KwaZulu-Natal
Source: The Dairy Mail 16, pp 42 –45 (2009)
By all accounts KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) has enjoyed a relatively good period, climatically, for most of this year. While some unusual extremes have been experienced, our province has been far better off than many other areas of the country where extremely dry conditions have prevailed.
The leadership agenda MPO KwaZulu-Natal
The real democracy is what we see at work every day, in our schools' PTA, our farmers' associations, our fire protection associations, our community churches, our nature conservancies and of course our MPO.
Author Tigger Bryden
As I leave the MPO board, my feeling is that the board is working as a cohesive unit now. When I originally joined the MPO board a year ago, I felt that there was a division between the TMR areas and the pasture areas. I feel this has been overcome to a large extent and all board members seem to be working to the greater good of the milk industry.

Gemoedsrus vir jou én jou kudde : fokus op dieregesondheid

Daar is 'n groot verskeidenheid dieresiektes in Suid-Afrika wat 'n groot ekonomiese impak op die boerdery kan hê. Gelukkig is daar ook voorkomende maatreëls om te tref teen die meeste van hierdie siektes. Dié voorsorg kom in die vorm van 'n goeie inentingsprogram.
The life in your soil feed management

Farmers who produce milk off pastures, are increasingly considering themselves pasture farmers first, and dairy farmers second. This is as it should be, says John Morrison, technical marketer for Hygrotech's central region, based in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal. There is one proviso, however, and that is that the soil should be considered a living organism and not only the medium in which to grow your pastures.
Perennial or annual Italian? feed management

One of the most frequently asked and hotly debated questions which come our way, is whether to replace annual ryegrass with perennial ryegrass.
Kanola - die ideale wisselbougewas (deel 1) : fokus op voerbestuur
Kanola se voedingswaarde is beter as dié van hawer, en gee dus meer melk van weiding én kuilvoergewas. Goeie hergroeivermoë en beter droogteverdraagsaamheid, veral onder ernstige droogtetoestande soos al in die Suid-Kaap ondervind is, asook beter opbrengsvermoë, maak van kanola die ideale wisselbougewas - ook op weiding- en kuilvoerlande.
The essence of selenium (part 4) : technology
Different approaches can be followed to ensure that livestock receive sufficient selenium. A significant advantage in the case of selenium nutrition, is that there are bodily tissue and fluid measurements that are quite reliable as indicators of the selenium nutritional status of the animal. On the other hand, a selenium deficiency could be but one of the possible causes of specific problems on a dairy farm.
Mastitis in heifers (part 15) : technology
Heifers are the future of any dairy herd. Look after them well and they will look after you in future. You invest so much time money and effort in these animals, they need to produce milk for you for at least six lactations or more. If you look well after them they will be able to do so.
Toets vir gehalte water (deel 2)
Author Bradley Roe
Benewens die chemiese samestelling van ons water, word die aanwesigheid van kolivormige bakterieë en spesifiek E. coli, internasionaal beskou as die beste mikrobiologiese aanwyser van watergehalte, wat 'n instrument voorsien om te bepaal of 'n waterbron geskik is vir verbruik.
