6 It s more than just a goat From time to time people tell me, lighten up, it s just a goat Or That s a lot of money for just a goat. But what they don t understand is... It s more than just a goat It s trust... It s love... It s caring... 6 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

7 They don t understand the distance travelled or the long hours in the barns... They don t understand the time spent, or the costs involved for just a goat They don t understand what just a goat teaches Compassion & patience Pride Character Hard work Confidence Gives love back We have friendships and life long memories because of just a goat Some of our proudest moments have come about just a goat And some of our saddest moments have come from just a goat with the lost of family and friends. Forever in our hearts and memories... So for people like you and I its not just a goat, it s a whole lot more... So the next time you hear the phrase It s just a goat just smile, because... They just don t understand it s not just a goat! B O E R G O A T N E W S N R

8 van die from the president Hennie Booysen Wat n ongelooflike voorreg om weereens deel te kon wees van ons volgende uitgawe. Soos in die verlede is hierdie Joernaal die pragstuk van ons Boerbok bedryf. Baie dankie aan Michelle en Marizelle vir die ure wat julle insit om hierdie samestelling te doen. Michelle, ons weet dat hierdie volgende uitgawe nog beter sal wees. Baie dankie aan al die lede wat hul vertroue in my geplaas het met die verkiesing as President van die SABTV. Ek sal poog om julle nie teleur te stel nie en sal altyd die ras eerste stel. Dan is daar n ongelooflike toetrede tot ons bedryf. Almal bel en stuur eposse om aan te sluit of inligting te bekom oor hoe om met bokke te begin boer. Dit is ook vir my verblydend hoeveel jong boere, opkomende boere en selfs ons buurlande asook vanaf die buiteland navraag doen. Baie dankie aan ons keurders wat hard werk om die ras te bevorder. Ek kan net n blink toekoms sien vir die bok bedryf in Suid-Afrika. Ten spyte van al die elemente aan regerings-hand, gaan die Boerbok bedryf net vorentoe. Groot dank aan ons Hemelse Vader wat ons elke dag seën: dat ons as rentmeesters kan optree oor Sy diere. Ek wens u almal sterkte toe met die Boerbokke, en glo en vertrou dat u baie genot sal vind met wat u besig is en dat ons hierdie pragtige ras nog groter en groter sal uitbrei. Dankie aan al ons lede wat advertensies plaas asook buite besighede wat dit moontlik maak tot die sukses van hierdie Joernaal, wat ons vertoon venster is. Laat ons die Boerbok ras eer en respekteer, en laat ons as individue soos een groot familie saamwerk en mekaar die nodige respek en liefde betoon. Om suksesvol te wees, kan jy nie net in die vinnige baan hardloop nie, hardloop in jou eie baan. What a great privilege to be part of our next edition once again. As in the past, this Journal is the masterpiece of our boer goat industry. A warm thanks to Michelle and Marizelle for the many hours they put into compiling this magazine. Michelle, we know that the next edition will be even better! Thanks to all the members who put their confidence in me with the election as President of the SABGBA. I shall try not to disappoint you and will always put the breed first. There is an unbelievable influx into our industry. Everyone is phoning and sending s to join or to obtain information on how to start farming with goats. I find it gladdening to see how many young farmers, emerging farmers and even those from our neighbouring countries as well as from abroad make enquiries. Our thanks to all our selectors who work hard at promoting the breed; I can see a bright future ahead for the goat industry in South Africa. Regardless of all the elements on the side of government, the Boer goat industry just keeps forging ahead. Our gratitude to our Heavenly Father Who blesses us every day: that we may be stewards of His animals. My best wishes to you with your boer goats; I trust and believe that you will find much pleasure in what you are doing and that this beautiful breed will expand ever more. Thanks to all our members who place advertisements as well as to external businesses who contribute to the success of this Journal which is our showcase. Let us honour and respect the boer goat breed, and let all of us collaborate as one great family, showing one another the necessary support and love. To be successful you can not run only in the fast track; run in your own track. 8 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

28 What makes the breeding history of the refined boer goat so unique, is that it was not bred from two or more purebred breeds like some other SA breeds, but was selected from all the existing goat breeds in South Africa for all their functional characteristics and type as they are known today and hence the name of Refined Boer Goat. This ground-breaking work was mainly done by a few farmers in the Eastern Cape, particularly around Somerset East. The pinnacle in boer goat history was reached when the South African Boer Goat Breeders Association was established at Somerset East on 4 July 1959 by Messrs TB Jordaan (Chairperson) and PB (Syce) Botha (Secretary). This step provided in a long-felt need for establishing an authoritative body for promoting and protecting the interests of boer Wat die teling geskiedenis van die Veredelde Boerbok uniek maak is dat hy nie soos ander S.A. geteelde rasse uit twee of meer suiwer rasse geteel is nie, maar slegs geselekteer is uit al die bestaande bok rasse in Suid-Afrika, vir al sy funksionele eienskappe en tipe soos hy vandag bekend staan en daarvandaan die benaming Veredelde Boerbok. Hierdie baanbrekerswerk is hoofsaaklik gedoen deur n klompie boere in die Oos-Kaap en veral in die omgewing van Somerset-Oos. So is die hoogtepunt in die Boerbok se geskiedenis bereik toe die Suid- Afrikaanse Boerboktelersvereniging gestig is op 4 Julie 1959 te Somerset-Oos met mnr. TB Jordaan (Voorsitter) en PB (Syce) Botha (Sekretaris). Hierdie stap het voorsien in n lang gevoelde behoefte deur n gesaghebbende liggaam daar te stel vir die bevordering en beskerming 2 8 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

29 goat breeders in South Africa. As the breeders of the boer goat were now united behind one mouthpiece, as an association they were better able to comply with a uniform breeding policy and selection programme and to render advice to breeders, especially in the use of the desired type of breed animals. At the founding meeting a committee was nominated to be responsible for compiling a constitution and drafting breed standards. The following members were present at the founding meeting of 4 July 1959: PB Botha, PB van Dyk, TB Jordaan, Colin Bennett, PJ Botha, LA Nell (Senior), WJ Jordaan (Zeiss), Paul Jordaan (Driefontein), LR Steyl, TP Kruger and WS Berrington. On page 24 in the first journal of the Boer Goat Breeders Association in 1959, the late oom Theunis Jordaan described the development of the refined boer goat as well as his own Buffelsfontein boer goat stud: This stud of refined boer goats was established in 1931 with my purchase of one ram from the late Mr Jeremias Triegaardt of the farm Van Wyksvlei, Bedford, and half of the boer goat ewes that belonged to the partnership WG Jordaan and Sons, of which I was also a partner. Around 1918 my father, the late WG Jordaan, bought about fifteen goat ewes from Mrs Van de Venter of the farm Slot in the district of Somerset East. They were smooth-haired goat ewes with pale red heads. van die belange van die boerbokteler in Suid-Afrika. Aangesien die telers van die Boerbok nou agter een mondstuk geskaar was, was hulle as Vereniging beter in staat om n uniforme teelbeleid en seleksie program na te volg, om telers van advies te bedien, veral met die gebruik van gewenste tipe teeldiere. Op die stigtings vergadering was daar ook n komitee benoem wat verantwoordelik was vir die samestelling van n Konstitusie en die opstelling van Rasstandaarde. Lede teenwoordig op die stigtingsvergadering van 4 Julie 1959 was: PB Botha, PB van Dyk, TB Jordaan, Colin Bennett, PJ Botha, LA Nell (sr.) WJ Jordaan (Zeiss), Paul Jordaan (Driefontein), LR Steyl, TP Kruger en W S Berrington. 1. Die verbeterde of Veredelde Boerbok wat gekenmerk word deur sy besondere verdienstelike eienskappe soos bv. goeie vleisbouvorm, hoë groeisnelheid, hoë vrugbaarheid, uniformiteit ten opsigte van kleur en tipe, gehardheid en aanpassingsvermoë. Dit is te danke aan die vêrsiendheid van n aantal Boerbok telers in die Oos-kaap, Somerset- Oos en omgewing wat hierdie gewenste tipe Boerbok sy ontstaan het. Reeds ongeveer 70 jaar gelede het n paar telers begin om met n doelgerigte teelbeleid en streng seleksie te probeer om n beter tipe boerbok te teel. Hulle het geslaag in hul poging en n tipe Boerbok geteel wat na aan die ideaal voldoen van n goeie Boerbok. Wyle oom Theunis Jordaan het in die eerste Joernaal, bladsy 24 van die Boerboktelersgenootskap van 1959 die ontwikkeling van die Veredelde sowel as van sy eie Buffelsfontein Boerbok Stoetery soos volg beskryf: Hierdie stoet van veredelde Boerbokke is gestig in die jaar 1931, met die aankoop deur my, van Een ram van wyle mnr. Jeremias Triegaardt van die plaas van Wyksvlei, Bedford en die helfte van die boerbokooie wat behoort het aan die vennootskap WG Jordaan en Seuns, waarvan ek n vennoot was. Omstreeks 1918 het my vader, wyle WG Jordaan, ongeveer vyftien bokooie van mev. Van de Venter van die plaas Slot, distrik Somerset-Oos gekoop. Dit was gladde haar bokooie met ligte rooi koppe. Hy het toe n ram van wyle mnr. IB van Heerden van Kaalplaas, Cradock gekoop. Dit was n besonder groot appelbok ram, met sterk konstitusie. Hierdie ram en die ooie was dus die fondament van die B O E R G O A T N E W S N R

30 He then bought a ram from the late Mr I.B. van Heerden of Kaalplaas, Cradock. It was a particularly large apple ram with a strong constitution. This ram and the ewes were therefore the foundation of the current stud. More or less sixty years ago many farmers each had some boer goats. However, in those days they were about all colours of the rainbow and many of them were also long-haired. In those days constitution was the only feature that people considered. The evenness of colour, uniformity and pigmentation did not matter at all. Development of the Ennobled Boer Goat The African renaissance already started 80 years ago at the beginning of the 20th century with breeding the ennobled boer goat. The resurrection and renascence by breeding the boer goat that forms an integral part of the African goat - complies with the basic principles of a Renaissance. A regeneration of thinking and an amendment in the view of life of a group of farmers in the Eastern Cape converted the indigenous boer goat into the best meat goat breed in the world. Seen against the background that 341 goat breeds are distributed across the world, it makes this a unique achievement. Compared to where boer goat farmers found themselves years ago and where they are today, it has been a remarkable effort. The small group of farmers in the Eastern Cape who took the initiative to improve the boer goat, had no choice but to play the hand they had been dealt with through circumstances. In this hand was the former indigenous goat breed that was an integral part of the greater whole, namely the African goat. It was the goat that the farmers acquired from the indigenous people to farm with. Thus the name boer goat gradually evolved. huidige stoet. Min of meer sestig jaar gelede het baie boere elk n klompie boerbokke gehad. Hulle was egter in daardie ou dae, van omtrent al die kleure van die reënboog en boonop was baie van hulle langharig. Die enigste eienskap wat die mense destyds in aanmerking geneem het, was konstitusie. Die kleur eweredigheid, uniformiteit en pigmentasie het hoegenaamd geen saak gemaak nie. ONTWIKKELING VAN DIE VEREDELDE BOERBOK Die Afrika-renaissance het reeds 80 jaar gelede aan die begin van die 20ste eeu met die teelt van die veredelde Boerbok begin. Die herlewing en wedergeboorte by wyse van teling van die Boerbok wat n integrale deel van die Afrika-bok vorm, voldoen aan die basiese beginsels van n Renaissance. n Vernuwing van denke en wysiging in die lewensopvatting van n groep boere in die Oos-Kaap het die inheemse Boerbok omskep in die beste vleisbokras in die wêreld. Gesien teen die agtergrond dat daar 341 bokrasse oor die wêreld verspreid voorkom, maak dit n unieke prestasie. As besef word waar boerbok boere hulself jare gelede bevind het en waar hulle vandag staan, was dit n merkwaardige poging. Die groepie boere in die Oos-Kaap wat die inisiatief geneem het om die Boerbok te verbeter, het geen ander keuse gehad as om met die hand te speel, wat deur omstandighede, vir hulle gedeel was nie. In hierdie hand was die destydse inheemse bokras, wat n integrale deel was van die groter geheel naamlik, die Afrika-bok. Dit was die bok wat die boere van die inheemse mense bekom het om daarmee te boer. So het die naam Boerbok mettertyd ontstaan. 3 0 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

32 Goats communicate with each other by bleating. Mothers will often call to their young (kids) to ensure they stay close-by. Mother and kid goats recognize each other s calls soon after the mothers give birth. Kids can follow their mothers almost immediately after being born. They are very close to their mothers and are weaned after around 6 months. Goats are very intelligent and curious animals. Their inquisitive nature is exemplified in their constant desire to explore and investigate anything unfamiliar which they come across. Goats have excellent coordination. They have great balance and are thus able to survive in precarious areas such as steep mountains. They can even climb trees and some species can jump over 5 feet high. Like sheep, a goat s eye is rectangular rather than round. They have excellent night vision and will often browse during the night.

33 Boerbok - Boer goat Rasstandaard - Breed Standard Hier volg die rasstandaard soos opgestel en aanvaar deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Boerboktelersvereniging. Die doel van hierdie rasstandaard is om die ras te verbeter ten einde sy ekonomiese waarde steeds te verhoog. Following are the Breed standards as drawn up and accepted by the Boer Goat Breeders Association of South Africa. The aim of the breeding standards is to improve the breed and to increase the economic value. BOUVORM KOP: n Sterk kop. Groot bruin oë met sagte uitdrukking (nie wild nie). Sterk, effens geboë neus, wye neusgate, sterk goedgevormde bek met kake wat goed sluit. Tot 6 tand moet 100% sluit. 8 Tand en ouer mag 6mm verby byt. Permanente tande moet anatomies op die korrekte plek uitkom. Voorkop prominent gebuig, aaneensluitend met buiging van neus en horings. Horings sterk, van middelmatige lengte, redelik wyd geplaas, met geleidelike buiging na agter. Horings so rond en solied as moontlik en donkerkleurig. Ore: mooi breë gladde ore van middelmatige lengte, wat langs die kop afhang - té kort ore is ongewens. Kenmerkende prulfoute: Hol voorkop, té regop horing, té plat horing, horings wat reguit uit die kop kom, en waarvan die punte op die nek druk, spits bek, skewe bek, gevoude (in die lengte gevou) ore, stywe CONFORMATION HEAD: A strong head with large, soft brown eyes, without a wild or untamed look.

Permanent teeth must cut in the correct anatomical place. The forehead must be prominently curved linking up with the curve of nose and horns. Horns should be strong, of moderate length and placed moderately apart with a gradual backward curve. Horns have to be as round and solid as possible and in dark colour. Ears are to be broad, smooth and of medium length hanging downwards from the head. Ears that are too short are undesirable. Characteristic cull defects: Concave fore-head, horns too straight or too flat: the tips of the horns must B O E R G O A T N E W S N R

34 not press against the neck, pointed jaw, ears folded (lengthwise), stiff protruding ears, ears too short, overor undershot jaw and blue eyes. wegstaan ore, té lang onderkaak, kort onderbek, blou oë. NEK EN VOORKWART: Die nek moet matig in lengte en in verhouding met die lyf wees, vol en goed gevlees en goed aansluit by die voorlyf. Die skouer moet stewig gesluit, goed gevlees en breed wees. Die borsbeen moet breed wees, met n diep en breë borsstuk. Die blad moet in verhouding goed gevlees wees en goed aansluit by die skof. Die skof moet so breed en vol wees as moontlik (nie skerp nie). Voorbene moet van middelmatige lengte wees, en in verhouding met diepte van lyf. Bene moet sterk en goed geplaas wees met sterk kootgewrigte, reggevormde hoewe, so donker as moontlik. Kenmerkende prulfoute: Té lang dun nek, té kort nek, té los skouers. MIDDELSTUK: n Lang, diep en breë romp is die ideaal. Die ribbes moet goed gewelf, goed gevlees, en die lende goed gevul wees. Die bok moet n sterk, breë en redelike reguit rug hê, en nie geknyp wees agter die blaaie nie. Kenmerkende prulfoute: Té hol rug, platsydig, duiwelsgreep, silindries, té reguit rug. AGTERLYF: Die kruis moet breed en lank wees en nie te veel hang nie. Goed gevleesde boude wat nie te plat is nie, en dye wat breed en vol vleis is, is ideaal. Die stert moet reguit uit die stertwortel uitgroei en kan dan swaai. NECK AND FOREQUARTERS: A Neck of moderate length in proportion to the length of the body, full and well-fleshed and well-joined to the forequarter, is essential. The breastbone should be broad with a deep, broad brisket. The shoulder should be fleshy, in proportion to the body and be well-fitted to the withers. The withers should be broad and as wellfitted as possible (not sharp). The front legs should be of medium length and in proportion to the depth of the body. The legs should be strong and well-placed, with strong pastern joints and well-formed hoofs which are as dark as possible. Characteristic cull defects: Too long, thin neck; too short neck, shoulders too loose. BARREL: The ideal is a long, deep broad barrel. The ribs must be well sprung and fleshed, and the loins as well filled as possible. The goat should have a broad, fairly straight back and must not be pinched behind the shoulders. Characteristic cull defects: Back too concave, too slab-sided, too cylindrical or pinched behind the shoulder. HINDQUARTERS: The Boer Goat should have a broad and long rump, not sloping too much, well fleshed buttocks which are not too flat, and have fully fleshed thighs. The tail must be straight where it grows out of the dock and then may swing to either side. Characteristic cull defects: A rump that hangs too much or is too short. A too long shank or flat buttocks. LEGS: Emphasis should be placed on the legs which should be strong and well-placed. Too fleshy legs are undesirable. Strong legs imply hardiness and a strong constitution, which are absolutely essential characteristics of the Boer Goat. Characteristic cull defects: Knock knees, bandy legs, cow hocked or post legged or sickle hocked. Legs 3 4 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

36 Kenmerkende prulfoute: n Kruis wat té veel hang of té kort is, plat boude, té lang skenkel, skewe stert. BENE: Klem moet gelê word op die bene wat sterk (goeie tekstuur) en goed geplaas moet wees. Té dik gevleesde bene is ongewens. Sterk bene moet gepaard gaan met gehardheid en goeie konstitusie: n eienskap wat absoluut onontbeerlik is by die Boerbok. Kenmerkende prulfoute: X-bak of hol voorbene, koei, sekel of regop hak, té dun of té vlesige dik bene, kote, hoewe wat uit of in draai. VEL EN BEDEKKING: Los, soepel vel met voldoende bors en nekplooie, veral by die ram. Ooglede en niehaar gedeeltes moet gepigmenteer wees. Die kaal vel onder die stert moet minstens 75% gepigmenteer wees vir stoet. (100% pigment die ideaal). Kort en gladde, glansende hare is die ideaal. n Beperkte hoeveelheid dons sal indie wintermaande toegelaat word. Kenmerkende prulfoute: Té lang, growwe bedekking, té donsige bedekking, asook té ligte pigmentasie by haarlose dele. GESLAGSORGANE: n Goedgevormde en stewige aangehegte uier met spene, soos die sketse aandui, word as riglyn aanvaar en sal geldig en bindend wees totdat navorsings resultate dit bevestig of die teendeel bewys. Speentipes - Spenetabel: Speentipes 9,10,11 en 12 soos in die S.A. BTV se spenetabel geïllustreer, verander vanaf 1 November 2008 vanaf prulspene na kuddespene met die verstandhouding dat die speentipes waarna hier verwys word funksioneel doeltreffend is, d.w.s. die ooi moet in staat wees om haar lammers funksioneel doeltreffend te soog. Hierdie verandering moet as n tydelike toegewing beskou word totdat wetenskaplike too thin or too fleshy. Weak pasterns and hoofs pointing outwards or inwards SKIN AND COVERING: A loose supple skin with sufficient chest and neck skin folds, especially in the case of rams, is essential. Eyelids and hairless parts must be pigmented. The hairless skin under the tail should have 75% pigmentation for stud purposes, with 100% pigmentation the ideal. Short, glossy hair is desirable. A limited amount of fur will be tolerated during winter months. Characteristic cull defects: Covering too long and coarse or too furry, and a lack of pigmentation of hairless parts. SEXUAL ORGANS: Ewes: Well-formed udder firmly attached with teats as shown on picture. Teat types Teat Table: Teat types 9,10, 11 & 12 as illustrated in Boer Goat Breeders Association Teat Table will change from cull teats to flock teats, with the understanding that the teats are functionally effective, i.e. the ewe must be able to suckle her kids effectively. This must be seen to be a temporary amendment until such time as scientific research into teats may necessitate a different decision. This amendment has been made with the express purpose of increasing the commercial flocks in South Africa. Teat types: Shows: Goats with the teat types referred to above may not take part in Shows in South Africa. Teat types: Auctions: Goats with the teat types referred to above may be put up for sale as flock goats, at regional, club and production auctions from 1 November 2008 on the condition that the inspectors deem that the teats are functionally effective.

37 navorsing ten opsigte van spene n ander besluit in die verband noodsaak. Hierdie toegewing word uitsluitlik gemaak om die kommersiële kudde in Suid-Afrika doelgerig te vermeerder Speentipes 9-12: Skoue Diere met dié speen-tipes, mag egter aan geen skou in SA deelneem nie. Speentipes 9-12: Veilings Diere met dié speentipes, mag vanaf 1 November 2008 as kuddediere op streek-, klub- en produksie veilings te koop aangebied word mits die spene van n dier in die diskresie van die inspekteur(s) funksioneel doeltreffend is. Diere met speentipes 9,10,11 en 12 mag egter nie op die S.A. BTV se Nasionale Veiling en Wêreldskouveiling aangebied word nie. Kyk na ramme se spene, gebruik dieselfde tabel soos vir ooie ook vir ramme. Vanaf: 1 Jan 2014 Ongewisselde diere Vanaf: 1 Jan 2015 Ongewisseld 4 Tand Vanaf: 1 Jan 2016 Alle ramme Ramme Twee matige, groot, goedgevormde en gesonde, ewe groot teelballe in een sak, by ramme. Sak, nie meer as 5cm gesplete, is toelaatbaar. Die skrotum moet ten minste 25cm in omtrek wees. Kenmerkende prulfoute: Tros, kalbas of gesplete spene, té klein teelballe, sak meer as 5cm gesplete. KWALITEIT Dit word aangedui deur die volgende eienskappe: Kwaliteit is kort gladde hare met n mooi glans, veredelde voorkoms met veral n sterk kop, mooi na agter gebuigde ronde horings: los, dik, soepel en geplooide vel (veral by ramme) kort, gladde hare met n mooi glans. Hiermee saam moet die dier n lewenskragtige houding hê. GROOTTE: n Middelmatige groot swaar bok met maksimum vleisproduksie is die ideaal. n Goeie verhouding tussen lengte van been en diepte van lyf moet op alle ouderdomme gehandhaaf word met lammers wat neig om effens langer op die been te wees. Kenmerkende prulfoute: Té groot of té klein (ponie). KLEUR: Die ideaal is n wit bok met n rooi kop en ore, n bles en volledig gepigmenteerde velskakerings van ligrooi tot donkerrooi is toelaatbaar. Die minimum vereiste vir n stoetbok, is n kol van minstens 10cm in auctioned at the National Auction and World Show Auction. Watch rams teats; use the same table for both ewes and rams.. As from: 1 Jan 2014 Unshed animals As from: 1 Jan 2015 Unshed 4 tooth As from: 1 Jan 2016 All rams Rams: Two reasonably large, well-formed, healthy and equal sized testes in one scrotum. A scrotum with a split no larger than 5cm is permissible. The scrotum must be at least 25cm in circumference. Characteristic cull defects: Bunched, calabash or split teats. Testes too small, a scrotum with more than a 5 cm split QUALITY: Is indicated by the following characteristics: This is achieved with short glossy hair and a fine lustre, and ennobled appearance, especially with a strong head, rounded horns bent backward, loose thick, supple, folds of skin (particularly with rams) and short smooth glossy hair. In addition to the above mentioned qualities, the goat must have a lively appearance. SIZE: The ideal is an average sized goat for maximum meat production. Not too big or too small. Thedesirable ratio between length of leg and depth of body should be achieved at all ages. Lambs should tend to be longer in the leg. Characteristic cull defects: Goats too large or too small (pony). COLOURING: The ideal is a white goat with a red head and ears, a white blaze and fully pigmented skin. Shadings between light and dark red are permissible. The minimum requirement for a stud animal is a patch of at least 10cm in diameter on both sides of the head, ears excluded. Both ears should have at least 75% red colouring and with 75% pigmentation. Minimum colour for flock goats 10 cm on either side of the head with no colour in the ears As from 1 November 2008, a goat that is a flock goat because of colour, may not participate at the World Show, but may participate at Regional and Club Shows.

38 deursnee weerskante van die kop (ore uitgesluit). Ore moet elkeen minstens 75% rooi wees en pigment moet minstens 75% wees. n Dier wat op grond van kleur n kuddedier is, mag vanaf 1 November 2008 nie aan die Wêreldskou deelneem nie maar wel aan Streek- en Klubskoue. Minimum kleur vir kuddebokke 10cm aan beide kante van die kop, met geen kleur in die ore Die volgende is ook toelaatbaar vir stoetdoeleindes: KOP, NEK EN VOORKWART: Geheel rooikleur is toelaatbaar beperk tot nie verder as die bladbeen, en nie laer af op die blad as gelyk met die borsaansluiting nie. MIDDEL, AGTERSTEL EN ONDERLYN: Net een kol van maksimum 10cm in deursneë is toelaatbaar. BENE: Onder die term bene word verstaan dié gedeelte onder n denkbeeldige lyn van die bors en onderlyn. Kolle met maksimum van 5cm is toelaatbaar. STERT: Die stert mag rooi wees, maar die rooi mag nie verder as 2.5cm op die lyfgedeeltes wees nie. ROOI HARE EN BEDEKKING: Baie min rooi hare is toelaatbaar vanaf 2-tand ouderdom en ouer. PIGMENTASIE: Diskrimineer teen té ligte pigmentasie. KUDDEBOK: n Kuddebok is n bok wat nie voldoen aan die vereistes vir stoet nie, maar geen prulfoute het nie. Minstens 50% van die kleur moet wit wees en die ander 50% moet rooi wees. Die rooi kleur van n Kuddebok kan 50% aaneenlopend wees sonder om die indruk van bont te skep. Die res van die lyf moet wit wees. Indien kleur as los kolle presenteer mag dit nooit die indruk van bont skep nie. Onder die stert moet die kuddebok minstens 25% gepigmenteer wees. Ramme mag nie meer as 25% rooi wees nie. VERDUIDELIKING VAN DIE RASSTANDAARDE: By die toepassing van die rasstandaarde, is daar baie aspekte wat nie volkome gedefinieer kan word nie. In so n geval moet die inspekteur of beoordelaar sy eie diskresie gebruik. Alhoewel die rasstandaarde kort, saaklik en duidelik is, is dit egter nodig om meer inligting te verstrek ten opsigte van sekere beskrywings. Die grootste deel van die bok se lyf moet wit wees omdat PURPOSES: HEAD, NECK AND FORE-QUARTERS: Consistent colour is permissible but must not go farther than the shoulder nor lower than level with the chest. BARREL, HINDQUARTER AND BELLY: Only one patch not exceeding 10cm in diameter is permissible. LEGS: The term legs means that portion below an imaginary line formed by the chest and the under line. Patches totalling a maximum of 5cm in diameter are permissible. TAIL: The tail may be red, but the red colour may not continue onto the body for more than 2,5cm. RED HAIR AND COVERING: Very few red hair are permissible within the coat from 2 tooth onwards. PIGMENTATION: Discriminate against too light pigmentation. FLOCK GOAT: A flock goat is a Boer Goat which does not comply with the stud standards, but has no cull defects. At least 50% of the colour must be white; the other 50% must be red. The red colour of the commercial goat must be 50% continuous without creating the impression of being motley. The rest of the body must be white. If the red colour is in the form of separate markings, it must never give the impression of being motley. Under the tail the flock goat must be at least 25% pigmented. Rams may not be more than 25% red. Explanation of Breed Standards In applying these standards there are many aspects which cannot be completely defined. In such cases the inspector or judge must use his discretion. In spite of the breed standards being clear and to the point, it is never the less necessary to supply additional information in respect of certain descriptions. The major part of the body of the goat must be white to make it conspicuous and to facilitate the rounding up of goats in dense terrain. A pigmented skin on the hairless parts, e.g. under the tail, round the eyelids and mouth etc, is absolutely essential, because it offers resistance to sunburn which may result in cancer. A pigmented skin is also more resistant to skin disease. A loose, supple skin is essential for adaptability to climatic conditions. In South Africa, which is a warm 3 8 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

40 dit baie opsigtelik is, en die bymekaarmaak van bokke in ruie veld vergemaklik. n Gepigmenteerde vel op die nie haarbedekte gedeeltes, soos byvoorbeeld onder die stert, rondom die ooglede en bek, is uiters noodsaaklik omdat dit weerstand bied teen sonbrand, wat later mag oorskakel in velkanker. n Gepigmenteerde vel is ook beter bestand teen velsiektes. n Los soepel vel is noodsaaklik uit n oogpunt van aanpassing by klimaatsomstandighede. In Suid-Afrika wat n warm en sonnige land is, is n dier met n los soepel vel en kort hare beter aangepas; daarbenewens bied so n vel ook meer weerstand teen uitwendige parasiete. ALGEMENE VOORKOMS EN TIPE: n Bok met n mooi kop, na agter gebuigde ronde horings, los dik soepel en geplooide vel veral by ramme met verskillende liggaamsdele wat goed gevlees en pragtig in balans is. (Die ooi moet vroulik wees en effens wig na vore wat n kenmerk van vrugbaarheid is.) Die veredelde boerbok vertoon mooi simmetries met n sterk lewenskragtige voorkoms en genoeg kwaliteit met baie klem op vroulikheid by die ooi en manlikheid by die ram. VRUGBAARHEID: Ten einde vanaf 1 November 2008 aan Streek- en Klubskoue te mag deelneem, en op Streek-, Kluben produksieveilings aangebied te mag word, moet boerbokooie van 6-tand en ouer sigbaar dragtig wees of dragtig geskandeer word op die skou- en veilingspersele onderskeidelik of vergesel wees van n dragtigheidsertifikaat waarvan die datum nie ouer mag wees as n maand voor die aanvang van die betrokke skoue of veilings nie, of in die diskresie van die beoordelaars en/of inspekteurs sonder twyfel vantevore gelam het of lammers soog. Ten einde vanaf 1 November 2008 aan die Wêreldskou te mag deelneem en op die Nasionaleen Wêreldskouveilings aangebied te mag word, moet boerbokooie van 6-tand en ouer sigbaar dragtig wees of dragtig geskandeer word op die skou- en veilingspersele onderskeidelik of vergesel wees van n dragtigheidsertifikaat waarvan die datum nie ouer mag wees as n maand voor die aanvang van die betrokke skoue of veilings nie, of lammers soog. Veilings: Om op S.A. BTV Veilings onder beskerming van die SABTV aangebied te word moet n ooi op 6 Tand ouderdom en ouer sigbaar dragtig wees, of n dragtigheid sertifikaat moet ingehandig word. Skoue: Wêreld- en Nasionale skoue: Alle ramme vanaf die 3de gewigsklas (60kg) moet vrugbaar wees. Klaswenners (1ste en 2de plekke) sal dus getoets word. Indien n ram onvrugbaar getoets word, sal die 2de plek die 1ste plek inneem, ens. and sunny country, an animal with loose skin and short hair is beter adapted. In addition, skin of this kind provides additional resistance to external parasites. GENERAL APPEARANCE AND TYPE: A goat with a fine head, round horns that are bent backwards, a loose, supple skin with folds (especially in rams) and with body parts well-fleshed and in perfect balance. The ewe must be feminine, wedging slightly up to the front, which is a sign of fertility. The ram is heavier in the head, neck and forequarters. The SA Boer Goat is an animal with symmetry, with a strong, vigorous appearance and fine quality. The ewe must be feminine and the ram masculine. Fertility of ewes : In order to be able to participate at Regional and Club shows and auctioned at Regional and Club Production Auctions, Boer Goat ewes 6 tooth and older must be visibly pregnant, or positively scanned at the show or auction venue, or accompanied by a pregnancy certificate the date of which is not older than 1 month prior to the start of the show or auction, or who at the discretion is deemed by the inspectors to have lambed previously or to be suckling kids. In order to be able to participate at the World Show, National and World Show, Auction Boer Goat ewes 6 tooth and older must be visibly pregnant, or positively scanned at the show or auction venue, or accompanied by a pregnancy certificate the date of which is not older than 1 month prior to the start of the show or auction, or to have suckling kids Auctions: In order to be able to compete, a Boer goat ewe, 6 tooth and older, must be clearly and visibly pregnant, or must be in possession of a pregnant certificate. Shows: World and National Shows: All rams as from the 3rd weight class (60 kg) must be fertile. Class winners (1st and 2nd places) will therefore be tested. If a ram tests infertile, the 2nd place will take up the 1st place, etc. 4 0 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

42 Waar & wanneer DIE BOK makgemaak is Volgens Mason (1984) soos aangehaal deur Laivergine et.al. (1992) is die eerste plek of sentrum waar bokke makgemaak is die near East gebied in die sogenoemde Fertile Crescent waar argeo-soölogiese getuienis gevind is van vroeë vorms van landboukundige oorsprong in die Near East Neoliathic age. Hierdie gebied strek oor gedeeltes van die moderne Irak, Iran, Jordanië, Turkye en Palestina. Die presiese gebied is in die Uraanse Zagros waar bokke reeds sedert tot v.c. mak gemaak is. Mason (1984) rapporteer verder dat die makgemaakte bokke se voorouers uit n wilde bokspesie bestaan het van die Near East, Capra (hircis) aegagrus. In dieselfde gebied is n ander tipe wilde bok, die jarmo wildebok aangetref. Wigne soos aangehaal deur Laivergne (1992) meen dat hierdie twee wildebokrasse die oorspronklike ouers van die makgemaakte bok was en dat gedurende die moderne eeue die wetenskaplike naam Capra hircis, Linn; 1758 aan die makgemaakte bok gegee is.

This will then be tabled at the following Board or Annual meeting. Members who bring the breeders Association into disrepute may be expelled. Inspection procedure An Application for an inspection should be made to the office. The breeders should keep their own tags. New tags should be ordered in time from the office. NB: The breeder should produce the previous inspection form with each subsequent inspection. Inspection days are compulsory for all inspectors, and this therefore includes all judges as well. If an inspector misses 2 such days without apology, or three with apology, he will be removed from the list of inspectors. Each breeder must be inspected every alternate Reëls en voorwaardes vir Lidmaatskap Aansoek om Lidmaatskap word gedoen by die Kantoor, waarop die voornemende lid n inskrywingsvorm sal ontvang. Daar word van alle Lede verwag om lojaal teenoor die Telersvereniging te wees en op te tree. Griewe kan skriftelik aan die Kantoor gerig word en dit sal dan op die Raads- of jaarvergadering voorgelê word. n Lid wat die Telersvereniging in onguns bring of probeer bring, kan as Lid geskors word. Verwys grondwet Punt 6: Inspeksie-prosedure Aansoek om inspeksie moet deur die Kantoor gedoen word. Die telers hou self hul plaatjies. Nuwe plaatjies moet betyds by die Kantoor bestel word. (NB) Telers moet die vorm van die vorige inspeksie met elke inspeksie toon. Inspekteursdae is verpligtend vir alle inspekteurs, wat outomaties ook die beoordelaars insluit. Inspekteurs wat twee sulke dae misloop sonder skriftelike verskoning, of drie dae met verskoning, se name word van die lys geskrap.

The management retains the right to remove either inspectors or judges from the respective lists. Auctions Official auctions: These are auctions which take place under the protection of the Breeders Association for all members, and for which the venues are stipulated by the management at the beginning of the year. Only stud breeders may put goats up for sale at these auctions. All goats will be put through inspection by the inspectors who will be appointed by the management. The Association will carry the travelling, accommodation and inspection costs for such an auction, and a commission of 1.5% will be levied on all goats sold. The auctioneers will levy and additional commission, which will need to be approved by management. Application forms for official auctions will be sent to all members, and at the close of the auction the auctioneers will send a copy of the purchase list to the office. Private auctions and Show auctions Such auctions can be held privately, but with the protection of the breeders Association. Application for permission to hold such an auction must be made to the office, and will be subject to the approval of the management. The same regulation is applicable as for an official auction, with the exception of the commission of 1% to be levied for the association. The seller also carries all the costs with regard to inspection, advertising etc. Such auctions may not take place 1 week prior to, or after, an official auction in the same region. Management will make the necessary decisions in this regard. An inspection by two inspectors must take place within 14 days prior to such an auction. No extra animals (spares) may be taken to national and club auctions. No condemned animals may be sold on the auction grounds before or after the auction. A seller who does not comply with this may be debarred as a member.

50 inspections inspeksiedienste During the first few years of the S.A. Boer Goat Breeders Association the need was felt for a service to the members by means of which they could have their animals classed by qualified inspectors. Some of the more competent members were appointed by the Association to serve on a panel of inspectors to do this job. The different classes into which Boer Goats are classed are: stud, flock and cull animals. From time to time the panel of inspectors is enlarged whenever the need arises. Any breeder who is a member of the S.A. Boer Goat Breeders Association is entitled to inspection. When a breeder wishes to have an inspection he should apply to the Breed Director of the Association. He is supplied with a standard set of ear tags. All animals approved by the inspector are tagged with one or two ear tags (one in each ear), on which the stud number of the breeder as well as the number of the approved animal appear. Commercial farmers may also use the inspectors to class their animals. Stud breeders must have an inspection every second year. When a breeder decides to have an inspection he should also provide sufficient penning facilities as well as adequate labourers so that the inspection may be performed smoothly. Inspection costs are the following: Travelling fee of inspector R4.00 (plus vat) per kilometre (Payable to the inspector on the farm) Inspection fee R250 (plus vat) (R200 Payable to the inspector on the farm, R50 payable to the Office) R2.00 (plus vat) per goat inspected. In die beginjare van die Boerboktelersvereniging het daar n behoefte ontstaan vir n diens aan die Lede waartydens klassering van hul diere kon plaasvind deur opgeleide inspekteurs. Boerbokke word in drie verskillende klasse verdeel,naamlik stoet, kudde- en pruldiere. Die paneel van inspekteurs word van tyd tot tyd volgens behoefte aangevul. Enige teler wat lid is van die S.A. Boerboktelersvereniging is geregtig op inspeksie. Sodra n teler inspeksie verlang, moet hy by die Rasdirekteur van die Vereniging aansoek doen. Hy word van n standaard stel oorplaatjies voorsien. Alle diere wat deur die inspekteur goedgekeur word, word van een of twee oorplaatjies voorsien (een aan elke oor) waarop die teler se stoetnommer asook die nommer van gekeurde dier verskyn.kuddeboere kan ook gebruik maak van inspekteurs om hul diere te laat klas. Stoettelers moet ten minste n inspeksie elke 2 jaar kry. Gereelde klassering is een van die hoekstene waarop vordering in teling berus. Indien n teler besluit om n inspeksie te laat doen moet hy vooraf seker maak dat hy oor die voldoende kraalgeriewe en arbeid beskik sodat die werk vlot kan verloop. Die koste van inspeksiedienste is soos volg: Reiskoste van Inspekteur: R5.00 per kilometer (+BTW) (Betaalbaar op die plaas) Inspeksiefooi: R500 (+BTW) (R400 betaalbaar aan Inspekteur op die plaas - R100 betaalbaar aan die Kantoor) Keuringsfooi: R2.00 per bok voorgejaag (+BTW) Nabygeleë lede kan saamwerk om sodoende reiskoste te verdeel. 5 0 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

52 SHOWS A World Show is held every second year preferably in Bloemfontein, which is being administrated by die SABGBA Office. The alternative year a National Show will be held, that will be put out on Tender. Here Breeders are able to compete and the best specimens of the breed are identified by Judges of the Association. The Association has a panel of judges which is enlarged from time to time when necessary, and judge at World Championship and the other shows all over the country. AUCTIONS An Official auction are held annually, and here only members of the Association may offer animals for sale. All rams and ewes offered are inspected by an inspector before the auction to ensure that the Association only offers sale animals conforming to the Breedstandards. Rams are tested for fertility on these Auctions. COURSES Regular junior and senior courses are annually held. Thevenue decided by executive. During these courses the breed standards are discussed theoretically and practically demonstrated, as well as all managerial practice referring to the Boer Goat. Persons attending such courses also have an opportunity to handle the goats and do practical classing. The knowledge acquired in this way is necessary for any prospective breeder of Boer Goats. SKOUE Elke alternatiewe jaar word n Wêreldskou verkieslik in Bloemfontein gehou wat deur die S.A. BTV Kantoor geadministreer word. Die alternatiewe jaar word daar n Nasionale Skou gehou wat op tender uitgesit word. Hier kan telers kompeteer en word die beste van die ras deur Beoordelaars van die Vereniging uitgewys. Die Vereniging beskik oor n paneel van Beoordelaars wat van tyd tot tyd aangevul word en wat tydens die Wêreld- en ander skoue dwarsoor die land optree. VEILINGS n Amptelike Veiling word jaarliks aangebied, en slegs lede van die Vereniging mag diere aanbied. Alle ramme en ooie wat aangebied word moet vooraf deur Inspekteurs geïnspekteer word om te verseker dat die Vereniging slegs diere wat aan die Rasstandaarde voldoen, te koop aanbied. Ramme sal vir vrugbaarheid getoets word. KURSUSSE Gereelde junior en senior kursusse word jaarliks aangebied. Die plek word deur die Raad bepaal. Tydens hierdie kursusse word die rasstandaarde prakties gedemonstreer en teoreties behandel, sowel as alle bestuurspraktyke aangaande die Boerbok. Kursusgangers kry ook die geleentheid om prakties met die diere te werk. Die kennis wat opgedoen word is noodsaaklik vir enige voornemende teler van boerbokke. 5 2 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

53 Teelbeleid vir die SA Boerboktelersvereniging Breeding policy for the SA BOER GOAT BREEDERS ASSOCIATION In terms of clause of the Constitution, the Council of the SABBA must compile a breeding policy that complies with the requirements contained in the Constitution: Objective measurement of all measureable economically significant traits. Standard of excellence for visual evaluation. A sound breeding policy for a meat production goat must be based on the following requirements: 1. Reproduction Reproduction rate is the most important trait that affects the profitability of stock farming. The factors that affect reproduction rate, among others, and for which breeders must select in their breeding policy are the following: 1.1 Net reproduction rate Fecundity is an important economic trait. Every Boer goat ewe must have a lambing interval of fewer than Ingevolge klousule van die grondwet moet die Raad van die SA BTV n Teelbeleid saamstel wat voldoen aan die vereistes soos in die grondwet vervat: Objektiewe meting van alle meetbare ekonomiese belangrike eienskappe. Standaard van voortreflikheid vir visuele evaluering. n Gesonde teelbeleid vir n vleisproduserende bok moet gebasseer wees op die volgende vereistes: 1. Reproduksie Aanteeltempo is die belangrikste eienskap wat die winsgewendheid van veeboerdery beïnvloed. Die faktore wat aanteeltempo o.a. beïnvloed, en wat telers in hulle teelbeleid voor moet selekteer is die volgende: 1.1 Netto Aanteeltempo Vrugbaarheid is n belangrike ekonomiese eienskap. Elke Boerbok ooi moet ten minste n laminterval van minder as 365 dae hê. Ramme dra 50% by tot die teling en dit is dus baie belangrik dat teelramme vrugbaar is. Hoë libido en dek- behendigheid is n vereiste vir B O E R G O A T N E W S N R

54 365 days. Rams contribute 50% to breeding and it is therefore very important that breeding rams are fertile. High libido and mating skill are requirements for breeding sires. Fecundity and milk production must always be measured relative to one another as in a ewe production index (EPI). The ultimate goal must be to have ewes that regularly wean heavy lambs. Be particularly careful of ewes who often have multiple births but are incapable of raising them properly. 1.2 Milk production The quantity of milk of a lactating ewe is measured by the growth capacity of her lambs. The lactating udder must be well attached and developed with good teats a lamb can easily nurse from. Milk production and mothering traits are the basic components of meat production on which commercial goat farming is based. 1.3 Mothering traits This mystical trait of a ewe to be able to care for her lamb can be measured only in the weight of the weaned lamb. It provides the mother with a special ability to overcome shortcomings or defects, such as calabash teats, vermin, etc. This trait may never be ignored in any selection programme. 2. Production 2.1 Growth capacity The majority of goats in SA are marketed based on weight. Profitability is determined by the total weight of lambs weaned per year. In selecting meat goats for growth capacity two factors must be considered: Weaning weight Weaning weight is largely an indication of the ewe s milk production and mothering traits, but it also gives a good indication of the lamb s own growth potential. Post-wean weight The increase in weight after weaning is an indication of the lamb s genetic ability to produce progeny that will weigh heavier at weaning age. Although it is less important than weaning weight, this weight can be used to monitor late maturing animals as well as identify animals that adapt well under NATURAL production conditions. 2.1 Hardiness and adaptability The animal s growth in the post-wean phase is a good indication of its genetic ability as regards these traits. Great emphasis must be put on the importance, during this period, of not using only feedlot conditions in selecting breeding animals. Boer goats must have teelvaars. Vrugbaarheid en melkproduksie moet altyd in verhouding tot mekaar gemeet word soos in n ooiproduksie indeks (OPI). Die einddoel moet wees om ooie te hê wat gereeld swaar lammers speen. Wees veral versigtig vir ooie wat baie meerlinge kry, maar nie instaat is om hulle goed groot te maak nie. 1.2 Melkproduksie Die hoeveelheid melk van n lakterende ooi word gemeet aan die groeivermoë van haar lammers. Die lakterende uier moet goed aangeheg en ontwikkel wees met goeie spene waaraan n lam met gemak kan drink. Melkproduksie en moederseienskappe vorm die basiese komponente van vleisproduksie waarop die kommersiële bokboerdery gebaseer is. 1.3 Moedereienskappe Hierdie mistieke eienskap van n bokooi om vir haar lam te sorg, kan slegs gemeet word in die gewig van die lam wat gespeen word. Dit gee aan die moeder die besonderse vermoë om tekortkominge of gebreke te oorkom, soos bv. kalbasspene, ongediertes, ens. Hierdie eienskap mag nooit in enige seleksie program geignoreer word nie. 2. Produksie 2.1 Groeivermoë Die oorgrote meerderheid van bokke in SA word bemark op n gewig basis. Winsgewendheid word bepaal deur die totale gewig lam gespeen per jaar. By die selektering van vleisbokke vir groeivermoë behoort twee faktore in ag geneem word: Speengewig Speengewig is grootliks n aanduiding van die ooi se melkproduksie en moedereienskappe, maar gee ook n goeie aanduiding van die lam se eie groeipotensiaal. Na-speengewig Die toename in gewig na speen is n aanduiding van die lam se genetiese vermoë om n nageslag te produseer wat swaarder sal weeg op speenouderdom. Alhoewel minder belangrik as speengewig kan hierdie gewig gebruik word om laatryp diere te monitor asook diere te identifiseer wat goed onder NATUURLIKE produksie-eienskappe aanpas Gehardheid en Aanpasbaarheid Die dier se groei in die naspeen-fase gee n goeie aanduiding van sy genetiese vermoë t.o.v hierdie eienskappe. Groot klem moet gelê word op die belangrikheid daarvan om, tydens hierdie tydperk, nie net voerkraalomstandighede te gebruik in seleksie van teeldiere nie. Boerbokke moet die vermoë hê om onder verskeie natuurlike weidings- en klimaatstoestande te kan produseer en reproduseer. 5 4 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

55 the capacity to produce and reproduce under different natural pasture and climatic conditions. 3. Conformation standard of excellence Since 1959 Boer goats have been strictly selected and improved to measure the ideal Boer goat against the breed standards as compiled by the SA Boer Goat Breeders Association. On this similar historical foundation the breed standards of the Kalahari Reds and Savannahs were also taken up in the Standard of Excellence of the SA Boer goat. As members of this association we affirm that these breed standards will always be striven toward in the improvement of our goats. In applying these breed standards, the following must be particularly noted: The emphasis is on functional effectiveness. Traits such as movement, muscling, vitality, traits that are signs of fecundity, etc. Non-functional traits: Poor or no movement, no visual muscling, fat localisation, unfeminine and unmasculine conformation, etc. The extent of phenotypical defects determines the disqualification of the breed standards. 4. Recording of Boer goats Members of the association may own one or more flocks that consist of: A recorded flock (Group C or B). A registered flock (Group A). OR both. Group D (no recording and no registration). The method according to which registration or the recording system will take place is fully set out and discussed in the Regulations to the Constitution. This process of registration and recording also forms the basis of our breeding policy, as underwritten by the association. B O E R G O A T N E W S N R

62 Jaarverslag annual report Baie dankie vir die geleentheid om my 6de en laaste jaarverslag aan u voor te hou. Ses jaar wat in n oogwink verby gevlieg het, en lekker om te kan sê, meer hoog- as laagtepunte gehad het. As ek terug kyk na die afgelope jaar, sal 2016, seker onthou word as een van die droogste jare in die geskiedenis, veral in ons somer reënval gebiede. Groot- en kleinvee kuddes wat teen weggee pryse verklein word. Onrus op ons universiteite, met eise wat haas onmoontlik is om aan te voldoen. Springbokrugby op n laagtepunt en n rand wat al meer verswak. Die ander kant is die D.A. se oorwinnings wat behaal is in die afgelope munisipale verkiesings, wat mens meer positief wil maak oor die toekoms van die mooi land. S.A. is nog steeds die mooiste en lekkerste land vir my om in te bly en alles wat mooi en lekker is, kom teen n prys. Sosiale media is al n geruime tyd met ons en raak al hoe meer n medium wat mense gebruik om bemarking mee te doen en inligting deur te gee, maar ongelukkig ook n medium om griewe en menings te lug, vir almal om te sien. Ek wil telers egter waarsku om versigtig met die medium om te gaan, want opinies kan uit verband geruk word met vêrreikende gevolge. Voedselsekerheid bly n kwessie en ons moet onsself afvra, is ons nog relevant, is ons ooie meer produktief, weeg ons lammers swaarder en wat gaan ons doen om dit te bewys. Weereens wil ek my innige simpatie betuig aan lede wat geliefdes die afgelope jaar aan die dood moes afstaan. Ek glo dat ons Hemelse Vader u sal troos en verligting bring om die seer te verwerk. Baie geluk aan die van u wat ouers, oupas en oumas, ooms en tannies geword het die afgelope jaar. Mag die nuwe toevoegings tot u families vir u net groot vreugde bring. I appreciate the opportunity of presenting you with my sixth and final annual report. Six years flashed by and, it s a pleasure to say, with more highlights than low points. When I look back on the past year, 2016 will certainly be remembered as one of the driest years in history, particularly in our summer rainfall regions. Large and small stock herds and flocks had to be reduced at ridiculously low prices; unrest at our universities with claims almost impossible to meet; Springbok rugby at rock bottom and a progressively weakening rand. On the flip side we had the DA s victories in the past municipal elections making us more positive about the future of our wonderful country. To me SA remains the most beautiful and pleasant country to reside in, although everything pleasant and enjoyable comes at a price. Social media has been around for some time and is gradually becoming a medium people use for marketing and conveying information, but unfortunately it is also a medium for airing grievances and opinions for all to see. I wish to warn breeders to be careful of associating themselves with the medium, as opinions can be taken out of context and have far-reaching consequences. Once again I want to extend my sincere condolences to members who have lost loved ones in the past year. I believe our Heavenly Father will comfort you and bring relief to assimilate the heartache. Congratulations to those of you who became parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts during the year. May the additions to your families bring you great joy! Congratulations to Michelle, Marizelle and all those who contributed to Boer Goat News No. 23. The journal was 6 2 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

63 Baie geluk aan Michelle, Marizelle en almal wat n bydrae gelewer het aan Boerboknuus nr.23. Die joernaal is aangewys as die beste van alle rasse, iets om op trots te wees. Lede - daar is n besluit geneem deur die raad en soos u ook kon aflei uit die finansiële verslag, om onaktiewe lede se lidmaatskap te termineer en dit ten spyt staan ons ledetal huidig op 441, met 60 lede wat deur die jaar by ons aangesluit het. Ons ledetal bestaan tans uit 351 boerbok, 73 kalahari red en 17 savanna telers. Ek wil dan ook van die geleentheid gebruik maak om u die telers te bedank vir u ondersteuning die afgelope ses jaar. U het my oral laat tuis voel en u gasvryheid was ongelooflik. Veilings en produksie veilings: - Die nasionale veiling was, myns insiens, n reuse sukses. Die eerste keer in die geskiedenis het ons die miljoenrand kerf verby gesteek met ons omset R 1, om presies te wees. Die gemiddelde was soos volg: Stoetramme - R Stoetooie - R Kudderamme - R8 361 Kudde ooie - R5 478 Op die nasionale kampioenskap veiling te Kuruman is ramme teen gemiddeld R en ooie teen R verkoop. Veilings is oor die algemeen deur die jaar goed ondersteun en die vraag na top teelmateriaal bly hoog. Daar is ook die jaar 23 produksieveilings aangebied, wat aan die kantoor n inkomste van +- R gebied het. Ek sal egter graag wil sien dat ons in die toekoms meer beskerming aan ons kopers sal bied. Daar kom te veel klagtes na ons kantoor toe en dit is nie goed vir die bedryf nie. Nasionale Kampioenskappe te Kuruman: n totaal van 952 bokke is vertoon deur 41 vertoners, wat ons nog steeds die grootste kleinvee skou in S.A. maak. Ek moet bieg, ek het gehoop dat ons 1500 diere op die skou sou vertoon. Baie dankie aan Noordkaap-Klub wat as gasheer opgetree het. Hennie Booysen vir die pragtige geriewe en puik organisering en Karien vir die lekker etes wat bedien is. Kursusse en uitstallings: deur die jaar is daar 12 designated the best of all breeds something we are proud of. Members a resolution was made by Council, and as you could infer from the financial report, to terminate the membership of inactive members. In spite of this, our current membership is at 441, with 60 members who joined us in the course of the year. Our membership at the moment is as follows: 351 Boer Goat, 73 Kalahari Red and 17 Savanna breeders. I wish to thank you, the breeders, for your support over the past six years. You made me feel at home everywhere and your hospitality was heart-warming. Sales and production sales I believe the National Sale was a resounding success. For the first time ever we exceeded the million rand notch with our turnover of R , to be precise. Averages: Stud rams - R Stud ewes - R Flock rams - R8 361 Flock ewes - R5 478 At the National Championship Sale at Kuruman rams were sold at an average of R and ewes at R Sales were generally well supported during the year and the demand for top breeding material remains high. During the year 23 production sales were offered, rendering an income of around R to the office. I would like to see us offering more protection to our buyers in future. Too many complaints reach our office; it does not reflect well on the industry. National Championships at Kuruman: A total of 952 goats were exhibited by 41 exhibiters, still making us the greatest small stock show in SA. I must confess, I had hoped that we could show animals at the show. Our thanks to the Northern Cape Club who hosted the event, to Hennie Booysen for the attractive facilities and excellent organisation, and to Karien for serving delectable meals. Courses and exhibitions during the year 12 junior courses with 169 students were offered and 6 senior courses with 39 students. A senior student course was also presented with 22 B O E R G O A T N E W S N R

64 junior - met 169 studente en 6 senior kursusse met 39 studente aangebied asook n senior studente kursus met 22 studente, n totaal van 230 studente. Dankie aan ons kursus leiers vir jul onbaatsugtige diens. Nampo, Agri expo en Pietermaritzburg is boerbokke ook weer uitgestal. Nampo: dankie Hennie en Hein Booysen vir jul bokke, die kantoor en almal wat gehelp het om die stalletjie te beman. Pip Niewoudt en Weskaapklub by Stellenbosch se Agri-expo, waar bokvleis voorberei en aan die publiek bedien is, en die befaamde Mynhardt van kokkedore verskeie geregte voorberei het. Kevin en Vanessa Collocott en Hoëveld-klub by Pietermaritzburg. Ek en Michelle het die voorreg gehad om n stalletjie in Abu-Dhabi, by die Global forum for innovative farming, te beman. Die belangstelling in ons ras is geweldig groot, veral uit lande soos Pakistan, India en Sri- Lanka, maar ongelukkig is daar nie n protokol in plek nie en maak dit dus uitvoere na die lande onmoontlik op die oomblik. Deur die jaar is daar 3 raadsvergaderings gehou asook n Algemene Jaarvergadering. Baie dankie aan die bestuur vir jul ondersteuning die afgelope jaar en ook aan alle raadslede wat die afgelope ses jaar deel van die bestuur was. Lukas Burger, visepresident, dankie vir jou ondersteuning die jaar. Michelle en Marizelle wat ons kantoor en die ruggraat van ons bedryf is en n besige 2016 agter die rug het, baie dankie vir die ondersteuning dwarsdeur my termyn. Aan my vrou Nicolene en kinders, Anke, Liezl en Derick, dankie vir jul ondersteuning en bystand die afgelope 6-jaar, ek waardeur dit opreg. Groot dank aan ons Hemelse Vader vir sy hand van bewaring en genade en sonder Wie ons tot niks in staat is nie en mag ons U boerbokryk uitbou tot eer en verheerliking van U naam. Waar ons dan nou kom tot die verkiesing van n nuwe president later vanaand, wil ek net se n goeie leier gaan nie oor hoeveel jy weet nie, maar oor hoeveel jy omgee. Ek dank u. students, making a total of 230 students. Our thanks to our course leaders for their generous service. We again exhibited boer goats at Nampo, Agri-Expo and Pietermaritzburg s Royal Show. Nampo: thanks to Hennie and Hein Booysen for their goats, the office and all those who ran the stall. Pip Niewoudt and Western Cape Club members at Stellenbosch s Agri-Expo prepared goat meat and served the public, and the renowned Mynhardt of Kokkedore produced a variety of dishes. Our thanks too to Kevin and Vanessa Collocott and the Highveld Club at Pietermaritzburg. During the year three Council meetings and an Annual General Meeting were held. Thank you very much to management for their support over the past year and to all Council members who were part of management for the past six years. To Lukas Burger, Vice President, my thanks for your support this year. Michelle and Marizelle who run the office are the backbone of our industry and they had a busy 2016; my thanks for your support throughout my term of office. To my wife Nicolene and children, Anke, Liezl and Derick, thanks for your support and assistance over the past six years; I sincerely appreciate it. A great thank you to our Heavenly Father for keeping His protecting and gracious hand over us; without Him we are powerless; may we extend His boer goat kingdom to the honour and glory of His name. When we now come to the election of a new President later this evening, I conclude: how much you know does not make you a good leader; how much you care, does. I thank you. 6 4 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

68 BOER EKONOMIES MET BOKKE Manage your meat goats successfully - Michelle Kruger Ten einde ekonomies met bokke te boer, is dit nodig dat aan sekere basiese produksievereistes voldoen moet word. Verskeie faktore, met n noue onderlinge verband, het n invloed op die produksieproses. Optimum produksie is alleenlik moontlik indien al hierdie faktore hul onderskeie invloede afsonderlik en gesamentlik laat geld. Die belangrikste produksievereistes is die volgende: Die voorsiening van doeltreffende en effektiewe aanhoudings- en hanteringsfasiliteite. Die daarstelling van gewenste genetiese materiaal. Die voorsiening van n voedingspeil van hoë gehalte. Streng siektebeheer. n Hoë bestuurstandaard. Stabiele bemarkingsfasiliteite 6 8 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

69 AANKOOP VAN BOKKE Alvorens u n kudde begin opbou, maak asb. seker dat u die betrokke ras se rasstandaarde deeglik bestudeer. Indien u nog onseker is, neem n kundige saam om na die beskikbare bokke te gaan kyk. Kontak die SABTV en kry n lys van Telers in u omgewing en gaan besoek hulle. Dit is altyd goed om 100% voorbereid te wees. Let ook op na die volgende: Kyk vir diere met goeie rumen (manlik en vroulik). Die rumen grootte kan aandui hoe goed die dier kos kan hanteer en verteer. Die rumen gedy na links van n gesonde welgevoede bok. Veral n bok wat weiding of hooi gevreet het. Beide manlik en vroulik kan dragtig voorkom na n lekker eet sessie. Kyk na die bok se gebit. Die onder en boonste gebit moet met mekaar ooreenkom sommige bokke is geneig tot n korter/langer onderkaak. Die invloed hiervan is dat dit die vreet-aksie belemmer. In die geval van ooie moet die uier goed ondersoek PURCHASING GOATS Before you start building up a flock, thoroughly study the relevant breed s breed standards. If you are still uncertain, take along an expert to have a look at the goats available. Contact the SABGBA and obtain a list of breeders in your area and then visit them. It always pays to be fully prepared. Also take note of the following: Look for animals with good rumen (male and female). The rumen size can indicate how well the animal can handle and digest food. In a healthy, well fed goat the rumen expands to the left, particularly in one that has fed on pasture or hay. Both male and female may appear pregnant after a good feeding session. Examine the goat s teeth. The lower and upper teeth must correspond some goats are inclined to have a shorter/longer jaw, which hampers the act of eating. In the case of ewes, also examine the udder properly. The udder must be well attached and not swing loosely B O E R G O A T N E W S N R

70 word. Die uier moet goed geheg wees en nie los swaai van die onderlyf nie, dit moet buigbaar en sag wees en nie hard nie. Voel in die uier vir harde kolle aangesien dit letsels van vorige mastitis kan wees en sy dit heel moontlik weer kan opdoen. Die uiers moet ook nie te laag afhang nie, want dit sal dit baie moeilik maak vir die nuwe lammers om daaraan te suip. PRODUKTIWITEIT Om produktiwiteit te meet is nie die maklikste aspek van die boerdery praktyk nie en n matriks van verskeie elemente moet in ag geneem word om hierdie aspek duidelik te verstaan en te bemeester. Die volgende aspekte van voor-speen en groeikoers kan in n indeks gekombineer word om n meting van produktiwiteit weer te gee. Hierdie benadering word veral in die VSA gebruik en kan vir die beginner produsent nie so maklik wees nie, of hy kan selfs geïntimideer wees deur die proses van meting. Die vergelyking is soos volg: Produktiwiteit indeks = Bevrugting koers x werpsel grootte x oorlewendes om te speen x 365 Lam interval x (geboorte gewig + voorspeen GDT x ouderdom by speen) Doeltreffendheid indeks= Produktiwiteit indeks Volwasse liggaamsmassa ¾ Verskillende aannames is in die berekening van die indeks gemaak. Die bok is n baie vrugbare dier en min inligting oor die opvatting koers is beskikbaar, dus is die bevrugting koers geneem op 90%. Oorlewing om te speen is veronderstel om gelyk te word vir alle rasse op 90%. n Konstante ouderdom by speen van 80 dae was in die berekeninge gebruik. INTENSIEF Hierdie benadering word veral gevolg waar daar beperkinge op geskikte land is vir weiding en gewoonlik wissel die getalle tussen bokke. Daar word gebruik gemaak van aangeplante weidings, from the lower body; it must be pliable and soft and not hard. Feel the udder for hard spots as they may be lesions of previous mastitis and she might very well be infected again. The udder must also not hang too low down, as it will be difficult for the new lambs to reach the teats. REPRODUCTION The conception rate, number of lambs and the ability to reproduce out of season are significant reproductive characteristics for a meat goat enterprise. Goats generally have a high reproductive rate and conception is not a problem. Various studies have shown that, although twins and triplets have lower birth and wean weights and grow more slowly, what they produced was more than the total weight of the single weaned lamb. Therefore, prolificacy, defined as the number of the lambs born per season, is an important criterion. Goats that grew up in moderate temperature areas are more inclined to seasonal breeding. Female animals come into oestrus only in autumn with anoestrus occurring only in late spring. However, goats from the tropics are non-seasonal breeders and lamb throughout the entire year. The desirable quality of non-seasonal breeding must thus be taken into account in a meat enterprise. GROWTH RATE Growth is effectively divided into two periods: the growth before weaning or pre-wean average daily gain (ADG) and growth after wean or post-wean average daily gain. A high prior wean ADG does not only reflect the genetic potential of the lamb, but also the maternal ability of the ewe. PRODUCTIVITY Measuring productivity is not the easiest aspect of farming practice and a matrix of various elements must be considered to clearly understand and master this aspect. The following aspects of pre-wean and growth rate can be combined in an index to render a measure of productivity. This approach is used particularly in the USA and may not be that easy for the beginner producer; he may even be intimidated by the measuring process. The equation is as follows: Productivity index = Conception rate x litter size x survivors to wean x 365 Lambing interval x (birth weight + pre-wean ADG x age at wean) Efficiency index = Productivity index Adult body mass ¾ 7 0 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

71 B O E R G O A T N E W S N R

72 Different assumptions are made in calculating the index. Goats are very fertile animals and little information on the conception rate is available; therefore the conception rate is taken at 90%. Survival to wean is supposed to be equal for all breeds at 90%. A constant age at wean of 80 days was used in the calculations. INTENSIVE wisselweiding en aanvullende voeding. Wanneer hierdie prosesse reg geïmplementeer en bestuur word, kan daar na n lampersentasie van ongeveer 180% gekyk word. Bokke kan ook in die algemeen swaarder weeg as in die ekstensiewe benadering. EKSTENSIEF Die grootste hoeveelheid bokke in ons land word in ekstensiewe benadering mee geboer. Dit is n geskikte benadering omdat die land in die algemeen as n semi-droë streek beskou word en daar baie benutting plaasvind van die bosse en struik tipes van die streek. Die seisoenale beskikbaarheid van voeding maak egter dat produksie wesenlik beïnvloed word. Aspekte soos liggaamsmassa wat verander, beïnvloed reproduksie. Kommersiële boere gee veral in droogte tydperke heelwat aanvullende voeding. Die fisiologie van n bok: Temperatuur: grade C vir volwassenes Harttempo: slae per minuut Asemhalingstempo: hale per minuut Ruminale beweging: per minuut Lewensverwagting: jaar Ooie: Puberteit: 5-10 maande Teel gewig: persent van volwasse ooi se gewig Hitte siklus: elke dae Ovulasie: dae na aanvang van hitte Duur van dragtigheid: dae Hoeveelheid lammers: 1-5 Ramme: Puberteit: 5-6 maande Teel ratio: 1 ram vir elke 30 ooie DIE RAM Reproduksie van die ram Die primêre geslagsorgane van n ram bestaan uit twee ewe groot testikels, dieselfde vorm en konstantheid. Hulle is ferm, maar nie hard nie en kan vrylik in die skrotum beweeg. Die grootte en omvang van testikels verskil van ram tot ram, en dien ook as a basis vir die seleksie van ramme vir vrugbaarheid. This approach is used where there are limitations in suitable land for grazing and numbers usually vary between goats. Cultivated pastures, rotational grazing and supplementary feeds are normally used. When this procedure is properly implemented and managed, a lambing percentage of approximately 180% may be considered. Goats may also generally weigh more than in the extensive approach. EXTENSIVE The greatest number of goats in our country is farmed in the extensive approach. It is a suitable approach because in general the land is regarded as a semi-arid region and much utilisation of the bush and shrub types of the region occurs. However, the seasonal availability of feeding has a material affect on production. Aspects such as changing body mass affect reproduction. Commercial farmers give considerable supplementary feeding especially in dry periods. The physiology of a goat: Temperature: C for adults Heart rate: beats per minute Respiratory rate: strokes per minute Ruminal movement: per minute Life expectancy: years Ewes: Puberty: 5-10 months Breeding weight: percentage of adult ewe s weight Heat cycle: every days Ovulation: days after onset of oestrus Gestation period: days Number of lambs: B O E R B O K N U U S N O

73 Rams: Puberty: 5-6 months Breeding ratio: 1 ram for every 30 ewes THE RAM Reproduction of the ram Die testikels word in die skrotum gehuisves om n eweredige temperatuur te handhaaf, n paar grade laer as die liggaamstemperatuur. As die testikels teen die liggaam gedra word, is die temperatuur te hoog en is die dier steriel. Dit is n hoogs gespesialiseerde en gesinchroniseerde proses waardeur spermatosoa gevorm word uit selle bekend as spermatogonia. Spermatogonia is teenwoordig in die testes, voor puberteit, hulle vermeerdering en vorming van spermatosoa is die begin van puberteit. Hierdie produksiestelsel is byna soos n produksie lyn in die saad vormende buisies binne die testikel. Die buisies is soos n bal, saamgepak soos n bol lyn. Die totale lengte van die buis is geraam op ongeveer 3 km. Geen twee spermatosoa kry ooit dieselfde genetiese materiaal nie. Dit en dieselfde stelsel in die ooi is die rede vir genetiese variasie onder die nageslag van dieselfde ouerpare. Die hele proses van sperm vorming en ontwikkeling tot en met ejakulasie duur 70 dae. Dit beteken dat verandering in semen kwaliteit wat vandag waargeneem word, reeds 70 dae te vore in die testes plaasgevind het. Dit is uiters belangrik om dit in gedagte te hou as probleme met semen kwaliteit gediagnoseer word. Abnormale sperme word gesien onder n mikroskoop tydens die ondersoek van vars gekleurde plaatjies vir morfologiese evaluasie van n ram se semen wat kan bydra tot laer vrugbaarheid en n toename in embrio mortaliteit. Ram en vrugbaarheid Lae vrugbaarheid en onvrugbaarheid in ramme is die gevolg van n reeks oorsake insluitende aangebore gebreke. Sommige van die oorsake kan siektes soos The primary genital organs of a ram consist of two even-sized testicles of the same shape and consistency. They are firm but not hard and can move freely in the scrotum. The size and extent of testicles differ from one ram to the next, and also serve as a basis for the selection of rams for fertility. The testicles are accommodated in the scrotum to maintain a uniform temperature, a few degrees lower than the body temperature. If the testicles are carried against the body, the temperature is too high and the animal is sterile. The formation of spermatozoa is a highly specialised and synchronised process from cells known as spermatogonia. Spermatogonia are present in the testes before puberty; their increase and formation of spermatozoa occurs at the beginning of puberty. This production system is almost like a production line in the seed formation tubes within the testicle. The tubes are spherical, compressed like a ball of string. The total length of the tube is estimated at about 3 km. No two spermatozoa ever obtain the same genetic material. This and the same system in ewes is the reason for genetic variation among the progeny of the same sets of parents. The entire process of sperm formation and development up to and with ejaculation takes 70 days. This means that a change in semen quality observed now has already occurred in the testes 70 days before. It is extremely important to bear this in mind if problems with semen quality are diagnosed. Abnormal sperm cells are inspected under a microscope during the examination of freshly coloured plates for morphological evaluation of a ram s semen that can contribute to lower fertility and an increase in embryo mortality. Rams and fertility Low fertility and infertility in rams are the results of a series of causes including congenital defects. Some of the causes may be diseases such as Epididimites, Brucellosis, Trichomoniasis, Bivriosis and physical defects due to injuries. B O E R G O A T N E W S N R

74 Epididimites, Brucellose, Trichomoniase, Bivriose en fisiese gebreke as gevolg van beserings wees. Voeding van die ram Ramme wat vir lang periodes lae energie voere ontvang se libido en testosteroon produksie is laag. Ondervoeding benadeel jong ramme meer as vir ouer ramme. Obesiteit en oorvoeding verlaag die libido. Oorgewig ramme se pote kan probleme veroorsaak en so sy produktiewe lewe verkort. Proteïen tekorte benadeel jong ramme meer as ouer ramme. Verlaagde libido en semen eienskappe, terwyl ouer ramme nie soveel geraak word nie. Jong ramme moet groei en onderhoud bewerkstellig. Behalwe proteïen en energie is vitamiene en minerale nodig vir goeie ram vrugbaarheid. Vitamien A of karoteen gebrek lei tot testikulêre degenerasie. Jong ramme is meer vatbaar vir Vit A tekorte. Spoor mineraal tekorte kan ook libido en vrugbaarheid beïnvloed soos jodium, koper, sink en mangaan. Bestuur van die ram Begin met byvoeding. (Gebalanseerde krag voermengsel) 8 10 weke voor paartyd ten einde optimale sperm produksie te verseker. Vermy oorvetheid. Gereelde ligte oefening in die periode ten einde oorvetheid te voorkom en fiksheid te verseker. Spuit alle ramme met Vitamien A, 6-8 weke voor die teelseisoen. Handel alle entings en doserings af. Laat die ramme jaarliks deur n veearts ondersoek vir vrugbaarheid en geslagsiektes. Gebruik van koggelramme Geen kleinveeboer kan bekostig om te boer sonder die gebruik van koggelramme nie. Dit geld vir alle boere wat n bepaalde dekseisoen het. Koggelramme word gebruik teen dieselfde verhouding as teelramme (d.w.s. 2-4%) ± 3 weke voor die begin van die werklike teelseisoen. Hulle teenwoordigheid en geslagsaktiwiteit stimuleer die ooie om op hitte te kom. DIE OOI Reproduksie van die ooi n Vrugbare ooi behoort elke jaar te lam en moet op die vroegste ouderdom kan teel, beset raak met paring, lam sonder hulp en voldoende melk produseer. Hierdie gewenste eienskappe kan verkry word deur goeie bestuur, met n normale ooi, vry van abnormaliteit in die struktuur en funksies van haar reproduksie stelsel. Feeding the ram The libido and testosterone production of rams that receive low energy feeds for long periods is low. Underfeeding is more detrimental to young than old rams. Obesity and over feeding lowers the libido. Overweight rams feet can cause problems and will thus shorten their lives. Protein deficiencies are more detrimental to younger than older rams, decreasing libido and semen properties; older rams are not affected that much. Young rams must establish growth and maintenance. Apart from protein and energy, vitamins and minerals are also necessary for good ram fertility. Vitamin A or carotene deficiency leads to testicular degeneration. Young rams are more vulnerable to vitamin A deficiencies. Deficiencies in trace minerals such as iodine, copper, zinc and manganese can also affect libido and fertility. Managing the ram Start with supplementary feeding. (Balanced power feed mixture) 8 10 weeks before mating to ensure optimal sperm production. Avoid obesity. Regular light exercise in this period to prevent obesity and ensure fitness. Inject all rams with vitamin A 6-8 weeks before the mating season. Complete all vaccinations and dosing. Allow the rams to be annually examined by a veterinarian for fertility and venereal diseases. Using teasers No small stock farmer can afford to operate without using teasers. This applies to all farmers who have a particular mating season. Teasers are used in the same ratio as breeding rams (i.e. 2-4%) ± 3 weeks before the start of the actual breeding season. Their presence and sexual activity stimulates the ewes into coming into oestrus. The ewe Reproduction of the ewe A fertile ewe should give birth every year and, at the earliest age, must be able to breed, conceive on mating, lamb without help and produce adequate milk. These desirable qualities can be obtained with good management, with a normal ewe, free of abnormality in the structure and function of her reproductive system. The oestrus cycle (oestrus) Oestrus and ovulation occur regularly every 21 days in non-pregnant ewes (ewes have a seasonal cycle 7 4 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

75 Die bronstigheid siklus (oestrus) Die voorkoms van bronstigheid en ovulasie kom gereeld elke 21 dae voor in die nie dragtige ooi (ooie het n seisoenale siklus vanaf herfs tot einde lente). Bronstigheid of hitte periodes is daardie tyd wat die ooi ontvanklik maak vir die ram. Kort voor ovulasie vertoon sy gedragtekens dat sy ontvanklik is - daar is nou n verwantskap tussen die gedragstekens en die ovarium ontwikkeling wat verseker dat sy geslags ontvanklik is, gedurende die vrugbare periode as ovulasie plaasvind. Versorging van jong ooie Dit is die kwesbaarste vroulike diere wat die meeste onder swak bestuur lei, omdat hulle aan n kombinasie van stres faktore blootgestel word soos groei, dragtigheid en laktasie. Met goeie bestuur en voeding kan her-konsepsie die volgende jaar verhoog word. Daar is twee doelwitte met die grootmaak van jong ooie. Hulle moet vinnig groei en ontwikkel en hulle moet op n vroeë ouderdom kan lam. Die groeitempo beïnvloed die ouderdom waarop sy sal lam. Aan die anderkant beïnvloed voedingsvlak en kwaliteit van voeding die groei tempo en lamtyd. n Vervangings ooi moet goed uitgroei sodat sy doeltreffend kan produseer gedurende haar leeftyd. Beperkte energie inname in haar groeifase belemmer die aanvang van puberteit. Daar is n geneties-bepaalde massa waarop puberteit kan begin en verlaagde energievlakke vertraag die bereiking van die massa. Die nadeel van ondervoeding is die effek wat dit het op die lewensproduksie van n ooi. Dragtigheid word bevestig met ultrasoniese tegniek. Dragtigheids diagnose kan akkuraat gedoen word op 30 dae na dekking. from autumn to the end of spring). Oestrus or periods of being on heat is that time which makes the ewe receptive to the ram. Just before ovulation she shows behavioural signs that she is receptive there is a close relation between the behavioural signs and ovary development that ensures she is sexually receptive during the fertile period if ovulation takes place. Taking care of young ewes These are the most vulnerable female animals that suffer most under poor management as they are exposed to a combination of stress factors such as growth, pregnancy and lactation. With proper management and feeding, her re-conception in the following years can be raised. There are two main aims in raising young ewes. They must grow and develop fast and they must be able to lamb at an early age. The growth rate affects the age at which she will lamb. On the other hand, the feeding level and quality of feed influence the growth rate and lambing time. A replacement ewe must grow well so that she can produce effectively in the course of her life. Limited energy intake in her growth phase delays the onset of puberty. There is a genetically determined mass at which puberty can start and reduced energy levels retards reaching that mass. The disadvantage of underfeeding is its effect on the life production of a ewe. Pregnancy is confirmed by ultrasonic technique. Pregnancy diagnosis can be accurately done at 30 days after mating. The fluctuation of feed quality and amounts are responsible for the great variation in reproduction efficiency. Underfeeding is an important limiting factor, but on the other hand, overfeeding and obesity are conditions that must be avoided; they can lead B O E R G O A T N E W S N R

76 Die fluktuasie van voer kwaliteit en hoeveelhede is verantwoordelik vir die groot variasie in reproduksie doeltreffendheid. Ondervoeding is n belangrike beperkende faktor, maar aan die ander kant is oorvoeding en vetsug toestande wat vermy moet word, dit kan lei tot onvrugbaarheid of lae vrugbaarheid en swak besetting. Die voedingsbehoeftes van ooie moet in ag geneem word veral energie, proteïen, minerale, veral fosfor, kalsium en vitamiene vereistes moet aan voldoen word. Seleksie van jong ooie Hier moet voorkeur gegee word aan funksionele doeltreffendheid, soos melkproduksie, massa vir ouderdom, temperament, bou en aanpasbaarheid by die omgewing. Ten spyte van melkproduksie kyk na sagte, syerige, soepel uiers wat hoog geplaas is met genoeg velplooie met klein bereikbare spene. Die jong ooi moet goed ontwikkel wees met n goeie rib sprong en n gebalanseerde bouvorm. Sy moet vroulik lyk met goeie bouvorm, breë bek, diep bors, wye ribbes en sy moet goed kan loop, effens dalende lende en slanke nek en beweeglik skouers. Ooie met n ramagtige voorkoms moet uitgeskot word. Diskrimineer sterk teen swak temperament, dit kan die kudde se rustigheid versteur. Bestuur van ooie Ooie moet feitlik vanaf geboorte goed behandel word aangesien hulle dikwels nooit volkome herstel van n ernstige knou vroeër in hulle lewens nie. Selekteer ooie voor die teelseisoen. Gee prikkelvoeding 2-3 weke voor die aanvang van paartyd om n massa toename van 5-8kg te bewerkstellig. Vermy oorvetheid. Handel entings en dosering af. Spuit Vit. A. Voeg 2-4% koggelramme drie weke voor die aanvang van paartyd by, tesame met prikkelvoeding, stimuleer dit die ooie om bronstig te kom. Seleksie van ooie vir die nuwe teelseisoen Seleksie word hoofsaaklik gebaseer op vrugbaarheid en funksionele doeltreffendheid. to infertility or low fertility and poor conception. The feeding needs of ewes must be taken into account, particularly regarding energy, protein, minerals, especially phosphor and calcium, and vitamin needs must be met. Selection of young ewes Preference must be given to functional effectiveness, such as milk production, mass for age, temperament, conformation and adaptability to the environment. Regardless of milk production, look for soft, silky, subtle udders that are placed high with adequate skin folds with small, accessible teats. The young ewe must be well developed with a good rib edge rib sprung and a balanced conformation. She must look feminine with good conformation, broad mouth, deep chest and wide ribs, and she must be able to walk well, have somewhat sloping loins, a slender neck and mobile shoulders. Ewes with a masculine appearance must be culled. Discriminate strongly against bad temperament; it may disturb the flock s tranquillity. Managing ewes Ewes must be well cared for from birth as they often do not fully recover from a serious setback that occurred early in their lives. Select ewes before the breeding season. Give flush feeding 2-3 weeks before the commencement of mating to establish a mass gain of 5-8 kg. Avoid obesity. Complete vaccinations and dosing. Inject vitamin A. Using 2-4% teasers three weeks before the start of mating, along with flush feeding, stimulates the ewes to coming into oestrus. Selection of ewes for the new breeding season Selection is based mainly on fertility and functional efficiency. Ewes that repeatedly do not conceive and lamb must be culled. Ewes with physical defects, damaged vulvas, udders and teats and proven poor maternal characteristics must be removed from the breeding flock. Preference must be given to ewes with a history of multiples or young ewes with multiple 7 6 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

78 Ooie wat by herhaling nie beset geraak en gelam het nie, moet uitgeskot word. Ooie met fisiese gebreke, beskadigde vulvas, uiers en spene en bewese swak moedereienskappe moet uit die teeltrop verwyder word. Voorkeur moet gegee word aan ooie met n geskiedenis van meerlinge of jong ooie met meerlinge prestasies in hulle voorgeslag. Hierdeur sal lam persentasie verhoog word. Jong ooie moet uitgegroei wees vir paring vanaf 12 maande ouderdom. Konsepsie en dragtigheid hang meer af van liggaamsmassa en nie so seer van ouderdom nie. So bv. toon ooie met n massa van minder as 33kg baie swak konsepsie. Liggaamsmassa vir normale konsepsie behoort tussen 40-50kg te wees. Met n liggaamsmassa van 60kg of meer kan tweelinge verwag word. Let WEL: Liggaamsmassa van bokooie is laer Selekteer ooie volgens speenmassa van lammers Bokooie is vroeg geslagsryp en meer vrugbaar tussen 3-5 jaar. Lamtyd Ooie sal in September begin lam. Grootuierooie moet gedurig onder toesig wees sodat hulp verleen kan word waar nodig. Groeivoeding gedurende die laaste 60 dae van dragtigheid, verseker n goeie gewigstoename van die ooi, groter en sterker lammers by geboorte asook swaarder en groter lammers met speentyd. Speen van lammers Lammers word normaalweg op 3-4 maande gespeen. Speenlammers moet van die beste weiding voorsien word ten einde optimale benutting te verkry van die jong diere se vermoë om voedsel doeltreffend te benut en n goeie gewigstoename te toon. Swak ontwikkeling en groei van lammers kan hoofsaaklik aan swak voeding en inwendige parasiete toegeskryf word. Die uitgroei van vervangings ooie tot op maande moet die hoogste prioriteit geniet. performance in their ancestry as this will increase lambing percentage. Young ewes must be fully grown for mating from 12 months of age. Conception and pregnancy depend more on body mass and not so much on age; for example, ewes with a mass of less than 33 kg show very poor conception. Body mass for normal conception should be between kg. With a body mass of 60 kg or more twins may be expected. Take note: Body mass of goat ewes is lower Select ewes according to wean mass of lambs Goat ewes are sexually mature at an early age and more fertile between 3-5 years. Lambing Ewes will start lambing in September. Pregnant ewes must be under constant supervision so that they can be helped where necessary. Growth feeding during the last 60 days of pregnancy ensures a good gain in weight in the ewe, larger and stronger lambs at birth as well as heavier and larger lambs at weaning. Weaning of lambs Lambs are normally weaned at 3-4 months. Weaned lambs must be provided with the best pasture to obtain optimal utilisation of the young animals ability to effectively exploit feed and show a good weight gain. Poor development and growth of lambs can be ascribed mainly to poor feeding and internal parasites. The growth of replacement ewes up to months must have top priority. 7 8 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

Beheer uitwendige parasiete Beheer word uitgeoefen deur n dompeldip, voetbad of pensdip. Dompeldippe gee die beste beheer. Bosluise, myte, luise, skaapluisvlieë en brommers veroorsaak van tyd tot tyd probleme en kan met enige van die talle geregistreerde bokdippe behandel word. Beheer van inwendige parasiete Dit is onmoontlik om n vaste program op te stel omdat toestande, watervoorsiening, weiding, klimaat, bestuur ens. van plaas tot plaas en selfs op een plaas geweldig kan verskil. Daar is baie doseermiddels beskikbaar en n program teen inwendige parasiete op u plaas kan heel beste opgestel word in samewerking met u veearts en verteenwoordigers van enige van die Maatskappye wat hierdie middels voorsien. Gereelde mismonster ondersoeke en deeglike ondersoeke van organe tydens vrektes en slagtings kan baie waardevolle inligting verskaf. Raadpleeg u veearts, koöperasie of Verteenwoordiger van Diere gesondheid vir die nuutste middels. Management programme from advanced pregnancy up to weaning Heavily pregnant ewes Vaccinate against E.coli 6-8 weeks before lambing Repeat 2-4 weeks before lambing Vaccinate against Tetanus 6-8 weeks before lambing Repeat 2-4 weeks before lambing The above is important for ewes lambing for first time Adult ewes are annually vaccinated four weeks before lambing. Birth to three weeks Vaccinate against Heart water before three weeks Vaccinate against Pasteurella at about three weeks Attach ear tags, tattoo or ear clip Castration: Elastrator before seven days, but preferably between 2-4 weeks. Provide creep feeding from two weeks Three weeks until weaning Vaccinate Pasteurella booster four weeks after first vaccination. Vaccinate against Coryne bacterium ovis & Coryne bacterium pyogenes (optional). Vaccinate against Enterotoxaemia. Repeat four weeks later. Vaccinate against Blackleg disease & Botulism (optional) Castrate: Burdizo or knife ± one month Dose lambs against tapeworm at about six weeks Dose lambs against roundworm and tapeworm at 3-4 months. Controlling external parasites Control by plunge dipping, footbath or abdomen dip. Plunge dipping gives best control. Ticks, mites, lice, sheep louse flies and blowflies cause problems from time to time and can be treated with any of the various registered goat dips. Controlling internal parasites It is impossible to draft a fixed programme because conditions, water supply, grazing, climate, management, etc. differ from one farm to the next and even on one farm. Many dosing remedies are available and a programme against internal parasites on your farm can best be drawn up in collaboration with your veterinarian and representatives of any of the companies that supply these remedies. Regular dung sample investigations and thorough examination of organs at death and slaughter can provide much valuable information. Consult your veterinarian, co-operation or representative of animal health for the latest remedies. B O E R G O A T N E W S N R

80 Die lam Sodra n lam gebore is en kan asemhaal, behandel sy naelstring met n jodiumtinktuur oplossing om besmetting te voorkom. Kyk vir enige gebreke soos swak kake, skewe bene en speenfoute. Dit is die beste om lammers met sulke aangebore gebreke, dadelik te merk as n uitskotdier. Ramlammers kan natuurlik vir slagdoeleindes grootgemaak word. Sorg dat die lam wat behou word dadelik kan suip. Hy moet sodra moontlik genoeg biesmelk inkry om sy immuunstelsel in werking te sit. Melk ooie met groot spene eers uit en gee dan die biesmelk met n bottel of n maagbuis vir die lam. Biesmelk is ryk aan voedingstowwe en teenliggame. Lammers het twee basiese behoeftes, dit is biesmelk en hitte, veral klein gebore lammers. Vir sulke klein lammers kan n bietjie glukose by die warm biesmelk gevoeg word. Die ooi verwerp gewoonlik sulke lammers wat baie hanteer is en moet dus hans grootgemaak word. Alle lammers moet so gou as moontlik na geboorte volgens voorskrifte gemerk word. Kasteer Indien ramlammers nie vir teeldoeleindes gehou word nie, moet hulle so gou moontlik gekastreer word. Verkieslik voor die ouderdom van 12 weke. Ramlammers moet apart van ooilammers gehou word omdat rammetjies op 12 weke n jong ooi kan dek! Kastrasie op n paar dae ouderdom, word gedoen met n rekkie wat om die skrotum geplaas word met n spesiale tang. Sorg dat beide testes in die sak is en plaas die rek agter die testes teen die liggaam. Moenie die speentjies insluit in die rek nie, sorg dat hulle buite die rek bly. As lammers so vroeg gekastreer word, kan kapaters langer as drie maande grootgemaak word, sonder daardie kenmerkende ramreuk in die vleis. Speen Speen kan plaasvind enige tyd tussen drie en vyf maande. Plaas The lamb As soon as a lamb has been born and can breathe, treat its umbilical cord with a tincture of iodine solution to prevent infection. Look for any defects such as weak jaws, crooked legs and teat faults. It is best to put down lambs with such congenital faults immediately. Male lambs can of course be reared for slaughter. Make sure the retained lamb can suckle immediately. It must ingest as much colostrum as possible to activate its immune system. First milk ewes with large teats and then give the colostrum to the lamb with a bottle or a stomach tube. Colostrum is rich in nutrients and antibodies. Lambs have two basic needs: colostrum and warmth, especially lambs that are born small. For such small lambs a little glucose can be added to the warm colostrum. The ewe usually rejects such lambs that have been handled and they must therefore be bottle fed. All lambs must be marked according to prescriptions as soon as possible after birth. Castration If male lambs are not kept for breeding purposes they must be castrated as soon as possible, preferably before the age of 12 weeks. Male lambs must be kept separate from ewe lambs because they can already cover a young ewe at 12 weeks! Castration at a few days of age is done by placing an elastic band around the scrotum with a special pair of pliers. Make sure that both testes are in the scrotum and place the elastic band behind the testes against the body. Do not include the teats in the elastic band; they must remain outside the band. If lambs are castrated this early, they can be reared for longer than three months without the characteristic ram odour in the meat. Weaning Weaning can occur at any time between three and five months. As early as at the age of a week, place creep feed in the lambs pen, along 8 0 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

82 so vroeg as op n week ouderdom, kruipvoer in die lammers se hok, saam met goeie kwaliteit lusernhooi en voldoende drinkwater. Die lammers sal gou leer om water te drink as een dit eers regkry. Die boklammers is natuurlik lief vir louwarmwater en dit kan hulle aanmoedig om te drink. Ontwurm voor speen met n geskikte ontwurm middel. Volg die ent program soos voorgestel deur u veearts. Ontwurming Enige bok wat op weiding loop, het die moontlikheid om besmet te raak met inwendige parasiete. Die algemeenste is rondewurms wat die spysverteringstelsel besmet. Hulle lê eiers wat in die mis uitgeskei word en so die weiding besmet. Deur die gewasse te eet word hulle met eiers besmet en die siklus begin van vooraf. Bronne van besmetting met rondewurms is soos volg: Daar waar bokke weidings benut het die afgelope jaar. Weidings wat gebruik word vir strook beweiding of wat in rotasie benut word. Weidings waar bok mis as bemesting gebruik is. Veilige weidings is: Pas aangeplante weidings. Weiding wat beeste en skape saam benut het, maar nie bokke of skape nie. Lande wat vir hooi gesny is. Weiding se toppe afwei wat gesny is vir hooi. Bokke kan n sekere vlak van besmetting met rondewurms verdra en hulle ontwikkel n immuniteit. Boklammers en jongbokke is egter baie sensitief vir rondewurm besmettings. Diere wat pal op stal staan en dan skielik op weidings geplaas word, is baie vatbaar omdat hulle geen immuniteit het nie en sleg beïnvloed word. Hulle sal wel later n mate van immuniteit opbou. Simptome van wurmbesmetting: gewigsverlies en verlaagde melkproduksie. Longwurms Die wurm beïnvloed die longe en lugweë. Die tussenfase van hierdie parasiet, word deur klein waterslakkies oorgedra en kom dus meer in nat weidings voor. Lewerslak Kom ook op nat plekke voor, die beste is om bokke weg te hou van nat weidings af. Indien moontlik kan dit dreineer word. with good quality lucerne hay and adequate drinking water. The lambs will soon learn to drink water if one takes the lead. The goat lambs are naturally fond of lukewarm water and it could encourage them to drink. Deworm before weaning with a suitable deworming remedy. Examine their feet and cut if necessary. Follow the vaccination programme suggested by your veterinarian. Deworming Any goat on pasture runs the risk of becoming infected with internal parasites. The most common are roundworms that infect the digestive system. They lay eggs which are excreted in the dung and thus contaminate the pasture. By eating the vegetation goats are infected with eggs and the cycle starts all over again. Sources of contamination with roundworms are as follows: Where goats utilised pastures for the past years. Pastures used for strip grazing or used in rotation. Pastures where goat dung was used for fertilisation. Safe pastures are: Newly planted pastures. Pasture used by cattle and sheep together, but not by goats or sheep. Lands cut for hay. Grazing down pasture tops that have been cut for hay. Goats can tolerate a certain level of infection with roundworms and they develop immunity. However, goat lambs and young goats are sensitive to roundworm infections. Animals that remain constantly stabled and are then suddenly placed at pasture are very vulnerable because they have no immunity and would be detrimentally affected. They will eventually build up a measure of immunity. Symptoms of worm infection: weight loss and reduced milk production. Long worms The worm affects the lungs and air passages. The between phase of this parasite is transferred by small aqueous snails and therefore occur more often in wet pastures. Liver fluke Also occurs in wet places. It is best to keep goats away from wet pastures. If possible, such pastures may be drained. 8 2 B O E R B O K N U U S N O

83 Bokke kan deur hondelintwurm besmet word. Hou honde wag van bokweidings. Wanneer om te doseer Bokke wat op aangeplante weidings loop moet gereeld ontwurm word. Net na lam is n goeie tyd om te ontwurm vir ooie en op 5 maande vir lammers. n Tweede ontwurming in die herfs sal verseker dat die bokke deur die winter parasiet vry is. As hulle intensief op weidings aangehou word, is dosering elke 6 weke nodig. Die beste is om mis monsters te neem vir ontleding en stel dan n ontwurming strategie saam in samewerking met u veearts of verteenwoordiger van diere gesondheidsprodukte. LAMTYD Kies die tyd van die jaar, wanneer die meeste kos beskikbaar is tot na speen, m.a.w. 3½ - 4 maande om lammers so goed en goedkoop moontlik groot te maak. Indien moontlik probeer dat daar volop kos vir n verdere 2 4 maande sal wees, aangesien 3 6 maande die beste ouderdom is om boerbok lammers te bemark, wat die boer instaat stel om net sy vervangings bokkies oor te hou in die kos skaars tyd van die jaar, veral in die uit en uit ekstensiewe dele van die land. Probeer paartyd so kort moontlik hou, 36 dae, dan kry elke ooi 2 siklusse om by die ram te kom, dit hou die lamtyd kort en vergemaklik bestuur en bemarking. Dragtigheids periode: by kleinvee aanvaar ons dit is van 145 tot 155 dae met gemiddeld 150 dae. PAARTYD Voor paring Sorg dat ooie nie te vet is een maand voor paring nie, sodat n groeiende toestand bewerkstellig kan word deur die volgende te doen: A Spuit of doseer Vitamiene A,D &E 3 weke voor paartyd, van baie groot belang veral in droë tye. Goats can be infected with canine tapeworm. Keep dogs away from goat pastures. When to dose Goats on cultivated pastures must be regularly dewormed. Just after lambing is a good time for deworming ewes, and at 5 months for lambs. A second deworming in autumn will ensure that the goats remain free of parasites throughout winter. If they are kept intensively on pastures, dosing is required every 6 weeks. The best is taking samples of dung for analysis and then compiling a deworming strategy in collaboration with your veterinarian or representative of animal health products. LAMBING PERIOD Choose the time of year when most food is available until after weaning; in other words, 3½ - 4 months to rear lambs as well and as cheaply as possible. If possible, see that there will be abundant food for a further 2 4 months, as 3 6 months is the best age for marketing boer goat lambs which will enable the farmer to retain his replacement goats when food is scarce at that time of year, especially in the totally extensive parts of the country. Try to keep the mating time as short as possible - 36 days - then every ewe has two cycles to get to the ram. It keeps the lambing period short and facilitates management and marketing. Gestation period: With small stock we assume it to be from 145 to 155 days at an average of 150 days. MATING PERIOD Before mating Make sure ewes are not too fat one month before the mating period so that a growth condition can be established by doing the following: A Inject or dose vitamins A, D & E three weeks before mating; very important especially in dry periods. B Give flash feeding by way of (i) reserve camp (ii) B O E R G O A T N E W S N R

84 B Gee prikkelvoeding in vorm van (i) spaar kamp (ii) goeie lek of (iii) n bietjie mielies elke dag. C Sit koggel ramme 9 12 dae voor dektyd in. D Spuit ooie teen ensoötiese aborsie 1 2 maande voor paartyd. E Laat toets ramme vir vrugbaarheid. Paartyd 1. Massa paring 1 Ram per ooie. Baie belangrik probeer jong ooitjies afsonderlik van groot ooie te paar. 2. Enkel paring 1 Ram per ooie. NB: Baie belangrik onder punt 1 en 2 in baie warm tye hou ramme bedags in skaduryke kampie met n bietjie kragvoer en sit slegs in die aand ramme onder ooie. Hierdie stelsel werk veral goed waar bokke saans gekraal moet word. 3. Handdekking Probeer sover moontlik doen wanneer dit koel is. n Ram kan elke ± ½ uur n ooi dek. 4. Kunsmatige inseminasie Spons ooie dag 1. Trek sponse dag 14 en spuit ¼cc DMS met onttrekking in aktiewe tyd Maart Junie of ½cc DMS Julie Februarie. KI op 48, 60, 72 uur. Oppas om te veel ooie met n slag te sinchroniseer, want as baie slegte weer met lamtyd voorkom en u nie genoeg huisvesting het kan dit probleme veroorsaak. Ooie wat op dieselfde dag ge-ki is, lam gewoonlik in n tydperk van 5 7 dae. Bestuur tydens KI. Hou ooie so kalm en rustig as moontlik, beskut teen oormatige hitte, stimuleer met koggel ramme na KI of jong ramme anderkant draad, hou ooie min of meer in dieselfde voedingsomstandighede as voor KI. 5. Besluit op n lamseisoen wat vir jou die beste is. In die Noord Kaap byv., is die gesondste bokkies dié wat in die herfs aankom. Die dekseisoen is dus van begin Oktober tot in November (Maksimum 36 dae). Die ooie wat egter nie beset raak nie, word geprul. (Jong ooie wat vir die eerste maal by die ram was moet egter nog n kans gegun word) Vrugbaarheid is nie onderhandelbaar nie, en is die belangrikste eienskap wat n boer op sy plaas hou. Na paartyd Hou ooie in dieselfde groeiende toestand vir die eerte maand om aborsie van die bevrugte eiersel te voorkom. Laat toets ooie met sonar 42 dae na dekking vir dragtigheid of haal leë ooie met koggels met merkers aan uit of sit opvang ramme in 14 dae na KI. LAMTYD Voor lamtyd Ent vir Baarmoeder Sponssiekte 2 3 maande voor good lick or (iii) a little maize every day. C Place teasers 9 12 days before mating. D Inject ewes against enzootic abortion 1 2 months before mating. E Have rams tested for fertility. Mating period 1. Mass mating 1 Ram per ewes. Very important: try to mate young ewes separately from adult ewes. 2. Single mating 1 Ram per ewes. NB: Very important under points 1 and 2 in very warm periods: keep rams in a shady camp by day with some power feed and put rams among the ewes at night. This system works especially well where goats must be penned at night. 3. Manual covering Try to do so as far as possible when it is cool. A ram can cover a ewe about every ½ hour. 4. Artificial insemination Sponge ewes on day 1. Withdraw sponges on day 14 and inject ¼ cc DMS on withdrawal in active period March to June or ½ cc DMS July to February. AI at 48, 60, 72 hours. Beware of synchronising too many ewes at a time, because if bad weather occurs during the lambing period and you do not have adequate accommodation, you may run into problems. Ewes that are artificially inseminated on the same day usually lamb in a period of 5 7 days. Management during AI: Keep ewes as calm and tranquil as possible, sheltered against excessive heat. After AI stimulate with teasers or young rams on the other side of the fence, keep ewes in more or less the same feeding conditions as before AI. 5. Decide on a lambing season that suits you best. For example, in the Northern Cape the healthiest lambs are those that arrive in autumn. The mating season is therefore from the beginning of October until November (maximum 36 days). The ewes that do not conceive are culled. (Young ewes that mated for the first time must, however, be given a second chance.) Fertility is non-negotiable, and is the most important feature that keeps a farmer farming. After the mating period Keep ewes in the same growing condition for the first month to prevent abortion of the fertilised ovum. Have ewes tested for pregnancy by sonar 42 days after mating or take unconceived ewes out with teasers with markers or put reception rams in 14 days after AI.

Twee derdes van groei van fetus vind plaas laaste drie weke van dragtigheid, daarom is dit baie belangrik om n bietjie ekstra te gee in die tyd, dieselfde behandeling as voor dektyd nl. vitamiene ADE en prikkelvoeding. 180% Lampersentasie kan bereik word onder die regte bestuurs praktyke, en baie drielinge kan voorkom. Ekstra voeding sal meebring dat veral meerlinge sterker en meer lewensvatbaar is met geboorte, daarom is die sonar van onskatbare waarde om drie- en vierlinge uit te wys en te kan sorg dat elkeen sterk en lewensvatbaar gebore word. In droogte tye is byvoeding na 2 maande dragtigheid essensiëel om aborsie te voorkom. Met lamtyd Dit is die enigste tyd wat Boerbok boerdery baie aandag nodig het en daarom belangrik om lamtyd so kort as moontlik te hou, sodat volle aandag daaraan gegee word, en is dit van groot belang om dit goed te beplan. Alhoewel die boerbok nie arbeidsintensief is nie, reageer hy fenominaal op spesiale aandag daarom, beplan lamtyd deeglik en oorweeg die volgende metodes: - of n kombinasie daarvan voglens u omstandighede. Lammers afhok in groot kraal Hier bly al die lammers agter in die kraal as die ooie gaan wei. Hierdie stelsel word glad nie aanbeveel nie aangesien die lammers dors is wanneer die ooie inkom, gevolglik drink enige lam sommer aan enige ooi. Dit raak ook moeilik om die ooie met swak moeder-eienskappe te identifiseer en uit kudde te verwyder. Dit is verbasend hoe baie hierdie metode nog gebruik word, ten spyte van al sy nadele. Klein kampies Deur klein kampies te maak met genoeg kos, skuiling en koelte wat spesiaal gespaar word vir lamtyd, blyk die aangewese metode vir die toekoms te wees, veral waar met groot getalle geboer word. Met hierdie before the lambing period. Uterine Blackquarter symptoms are that ewes die shortly, up to 3 days, after birth as a result of extreme inflammation in the uterus. Vaccinate for scabby mouth one month before the lambing period for udder infection. Two-thirds of foetal growth takes place during the last three weeks of pregnancy, so it is very important to give a little extra support at this time; the same treatment as before mating, namely vitamins A, D & E and flush feeding. 180% lamb percentage can be achieved with proper management practice, and many triplets can occur. Extra feeding will result in multiples especially being stronger and more viable at birth; that is why the sonar scan is invaluable for indicating triplets and quadruplets and to ensure that each one is born strong and viable. In dry periods supplementary feeding after 2 months pregnancy is essential to prevent abortion. During lambing This is the only time that boer goat farming demands much attention and it is therefore important to keep the lambing period as short as possible to devote full attention; good planning is thus extremely important. Although boer goats are not labour intensive, they respond exceptionally well to special attention so plan thoroughly for the lambing period and consider the following methods, or a combination, depending on your circumstances. Lambs enclosed in large pen All the lambs remain in the pen when the ewes are out grazing. This system is definitely not recommended as the lambs are thirsty when the ewes come in; consequently any lam will suckle any ewe. It also makes it difficult for identifying and removing the ewes with poor maternal qualities from the flock. Surprisingly this method is still often being used regardless of all its disadvantages. Small camps Creating small camps with enough food, shelter and shade that are especially reserved for the lambing B O E R G O A T N E W S N R
