* Boosts Appetite: Gives your livestock a healthy appetite even during challenging periods.
*Improves Digestion: Acts as a digestive modifier, optimising the utilisation of available plant food sources.
* Neutralises Toxins: It helps counteract the negative effects of plant compounds like tannins and terpenes, which can make plant material unpalatable and reduce protein digestion.

CATTLE PEN FATTENING

Cattle pen fattening is a lucrative business for beef cattle farmers looking to make a profit in the festive season.

Cattle pen fattening involves the feeding of beef cattle with a protein-balanced, high-energy diet for a period of 45 - 90 days while under confinement. The objective is to increase cattleโ€™s live weights.

The FIVET PEN FATTENING MEAL is a complete feedlot diet of high-quality sources of protein, energy, and fibre. It improves the degree of finish to obtain better grades of beef. Pen fattening enables animals to express their full genetic potential. It is essential to follow the given feeding instructions and recommendations to achieve optimum results.

Please come through to your nearest Fivet branch for more technical support on pen fattening and your beef cattle nutrition options.

The Importance of Rodent Control

Rodents pose significant threats to animal health, equipment, and feed in agricultural settings. They are vectors of diseases such as salmonellosis, leptospirosis, and toxoplasmosis, among others. Rodents also damage equipment through gnawing, consume and contaminate animal feed, and can cause significant economic losses. For example, a single rat can consume 20-45g of feed per day and destroy and contaminate 10 times more than its intake.

Impact of Rodent Infestation

The impact of rodent infestation can be substantial:

- Feed costs account for 70-80% of total production budget
- Rodents can cause:
- High mortality rates of chicks
- Production losses
- Damage to equipment
- Nuisance to animals, frightening birds and causing poor performance

Effective Rodent Control Measures

To control rodents, consider the following measures:

1. Good housing: Rodent-proof housing contributes to 80% of rodent control. Understand rodent behavior and design housing accordingly.
2. Surroundings: Keep areas around houses/pens clear of vegetation to exploit rodents' fear of open spaces (agoraphobia).
3. Bait stations: Provide a convenient hiding place for rodents after passing through bare areas. Bait stations can contain toxic baits that rodents consume, leading to their demise.

PIGLET MANAGEMENT: PREVENTING SCOURS

Piglets are particularly vulnerable to scours as their digestive system is immature and can easily be upset. Damage to the gut takes time to repair and negative economic impact occurs due to poor health and reduced weight gain.

Livestock performance continues to be affected even after scouring has ceased. Body condition is lost, and pigs may be so distressed that they stop eating altogether. Mortalities can occur due to dehydration.
The piglet creep area should be kept dry all the times, and infrared lamps or mbaura should be used as a source of heat to reduce scours in piglets.

Causes of scouring include:
โ€ข Cold temperatures
โ€ข Any change in form, composition, and quality of feed.
โ€ข Unhygienic conditions which cause bacteria such as E. coli and viruses to multiply.

To prevent scours:
1. Reduce bacteria in farrowing pens by cleaning and disinfecting after each litter is weaned (the all-in all-out system is ideal).
2. Encourage immunity by:
โ€ข Vaccinating gilts and sows against E. coli to protect piglets against scours.
โ€ข ensuring that piglets receive enough colostrum early in life, fostering them on another sow if necessary
โ€ข reducing agalactia (failure to secret milk) in the herd to ensure piglets receive colostrum
โ€ข Restricting the number of animal introductions from outside piggeries

Treatment with sulphur-based drugs is necessary for cases of scouring. Couple this with rehydration therapy, using Electromix, which helps in the restoration of lost electrolytes.

๐Ÿ”โœจ Between Flocks: Key Steps for a Healthy Next Batch! โœจ๐Ÿ”

Keeping your chicks and poultry healthy starts before the new flock arrives! Hereโ€™s what every poultry keeper should do between flocks for the best start:

โœ… Thorough Cleaning: Remove old bedding, dust, and debris from the brooder and coop. Clean the house with clean water first, then wash with deterrent. Finally rinse thoroughly with clean water.
โœ… Disinfect Completely: Use poultry-safe disinfectants to sanitize all surfaces, feeders, drinkers, and equipment, water tanks and side curtains.
โœ… Air Out the Space: Let your brooder/coop air out fully to reduce moisture and discourage germs.
โœ… Inspect & Repair: Check for any damage, fix holes or leaks, and secure all enclosures.
โœ… Rest Period: Leave the area empty for at least a week before new chicks arrive to break disease cycles.
โœ… Refill with Fresh Bedding: Start with clean, dry bedding and fresh water for the next group.

Pro Tip: Good biosecurity and proper cleaning keep your chicks safer and healthier all season!
