2 GESKIEDENIS VAN DIE MELKBOK IN SUID AFRIKA In 1898 het die Kaapse Departement van Landbou 3 Saanen ramme en 12 ooie ingevoer van Switserland.Die Telersvereniging is gestig in Gedurende die tyd het verskeie telers Saanens, Toggenburgers en Brits Alpyne van Engeland ingevoer. Vandag is daar 4 aanvaarde melkbokrasse in die RSA nl. SAANENS,TOGGENBURG, BRITSE ALPYNE en BUNTE DEUTCHE EDELZIEGE (BDE) HISTORY OF THE MILK GOAT IN SOUTH-AFRICA In 1898 the Cape Agricultural Department imported 3 Saanen bucks and 12 does from Switzerland. The Breeders Society is formed in During this time several breeders imported Saanens, Toggenburgers and British Alpines from England. Today there are four approved milk goat breeds in RSA viz. Saanens, Toggenburgers, British Alpines and Bunte deutche edelziege (BDE) SAANEN BUNTE DEUTCHE EDELZIEGE TOGGENBURG BRITSE ALPYN

3 EKONOMIESE WAARDE VAN DIE MELKBOK 1. LEWER MELK VAN UITSTAANDE GEHALTE EN HOEVEELHEID Met goeie bestuur en optimale voeding kan daar gemiddeld 3.5l melk met n bottervet van 3.4% en protein van 2.6% oor n laktasie van 305 dae van n goed geteelde en gesillekteerde melkbokooi van enige van die vier rasse geproduseer word Bokmelk is uiters geskik vir babas en mense wat maklik opneembare voedingstowwe nodig het. Bokmelk is uitstekend vir die grootmaak van enige klein soogdier (kalwers; lammers; perdevullens; wildsbokke; jagluiperds, ens) van weë die maklikke verteerbaarheid 2. DOELTREFFENDE VOEROMSETTINGSVERMOë As gevolg van die melkbok se BETER vermoë om ruvoer vinnig in melk om te sit maak dit van hom n uiters geskikte en kompeterende melkproduseerder. 3. MARK Bokmelk is meerdoelig en kan in n verskeidenheid tipes kaas, jogurt, lekkers en roomys verwerk word is gesog. Verbruikers doen moeite om hierdie gesogte produk te bekom. Daar is ook n al groter vraag na varsmelk. Economic Value of the Milk Goat 1. PRODUCING HIGH QUALITY MILK With good management and optimal feeding, a well bred and selected goat of any of the four breeds can deliver a average of 3.5l milk with 3.4% butterfat and 2,6% protein over a lactation period of 305 days Goat milk is suitable for babies and people that need receptive feeding. Goat milk is excellent for raising any infant mammal (calves, lambs etc.) because of its digestibility. 2. FEED CONVERSION EFFICIENCY The milk goat s capability to convert fodder into milk makes it a capable and competitive dairy animal. 3. MARKET Goats milk s versatility has the advantage that it can be made into different types of cheeses, yogurts, sweets and ice cream. It is in high demand and consumers will spare no pains to acquire it. The demand of milk is also increasing.

4 4. LANKLEWENDHEID en VROEG GESLAGSRYP Goed versorgde melkbokooie lam op die ouderdom van 12 tot 14 maande en het in produktiewe leeftyd van tot 8 jaar. Meerling geboortes is geen uitsondering by melkbokke nie. BESTUUR 1. PAARTYD Ent ooie teen ensoötiese aborsie 6 weke voor paring. Doen korrektiewe paring deur ramme te gebruik met moeders wat amptelike melksyfers het asook positiewe eienskappe het wat n tekort of probleem in jou kudde kan aanspreek. 2. LAMTYD Sorg dat jou ooie 6 weke voor lam, byvoeding kry met genoeg deurvloei proteiëne en fosfaat vir gesonde lammers en goeie melkproduksie.die energievlakke (glukose) moet ook hoog genoeg wees sodat melkkoors en ketose tydens lamtyd vermy kan word. Lammers moet binne 6 ure na geboorte soveel bies inkry as wat hulle kan drink. Lammers kry daarna 1l melk per dag en word dan op gewig van 15kg gespeen. 3. ONTHORING EN IDENTIFIKASIE Onthoring lammers op n ouderdom van 2-4 weke met n onthoringbout Identifiseer lammers so gou na geboorte met n permanente ID in die vorm van tatoëer in oor of oorkode. Plaatjies het die geneigdheid om uit te skeur. 4. LONGEVITY AND FERTILITY Milk goats that are well cared for, reproduce at 12 to 14 months of age and have a reproductive time of up to 8 years. Multiple births is a common sight with milk goats. MANAGEMENT 1. MATING SEASON Innoculate for enzootic abortion 6 weeks before mating. Do corrective mating by using rams which dams have official milk records and have the traits that are lacking within your own herd. 2. KIDDING SEASON Six weeks prior to kidding season, make sure to give your goats additional feeding with high quantities of protein and phosphate for healthy lambs and good milk production. The energy levels (glucose) must also be sufficient to avoid milk fever during kidding season. Kids must get enough colostrum within 6 hours after birth. From here on kids must get 1l milk per day and weaned at a weight of 15kg. 3. DEHORNING AND IDENTIFICATION Dehorn a lamb at the age of 2 4 weeks of age. Identify lambs as early as possible after birth by using a permanent ID in the form of tattoo in the ear or using ear code. Ear tags has a tendency to tear if not applied properly. 4. BEHUISING Staan plek van 7 m² per ooi is nodig, dit kan geheel of gedeeltelik onder dak wees 400mm vreet spasie moet per ooi gegee word. Die voerbakke moet van so aard wees dat bokke nie daarin kan

5 klim nie. Hooirakke met hooi is noodsaaklik. Genoeg skoon drink water in n krip wat 2 keer per dag skoon gemaak word is noodsaaklik. Beskutting teen reën en koue is van kardinale belang. Omheining moet van so aard wees dat klein bokkies nie kan deurkruip nie, want dit is waar hulle die manier aanleer. Dreinering van krale is van uiterste belang vir kudde gesondheid sorg dus dat krale droog bly. Hou ramme altyd afsonderlik van ooie aan dit voorkom dat onaangename reuke na die melk versprei. 5. VOEDING Melkbokke in produksie benodig n rantsoen met genoeg deurvloei proteïene. Die rantsoen moet nie meer as 17% proteïen bevat nie. Proteïen afkomstig uit ureum is uiters nadelig vir melkbokke, probeer die rantsoen ureum vry hou. Melkbokke benodig lang vesel om sy rumen werking te laat vlot loop en om te verseker dat maksimum van die rantsoen in melk omskep word. Plaas dus n hooirak met gras, hooi, strooi of lusern vir ooie uit. Sorg dat mineraal en vitamien vlakke in die liggaam reg is deur gereelde aanvullings. 6. REKORDHOUDING Hou rekords van elke dier van die volgende: Vader en Moeder om te verseker dat inteling nie geskied Melkproduksie om te meet is om te weet dit stel jou instaat om jou ooie met mekaar te vergelyk en die swakkes uit te skakel. Bouvorm Teken swak en goeie punte aan ten einde korrektiewe paring te kan doen om so jou kudde te verbeter Dekdatum om die ooi reg te kan opdroog (ooie moet 45 dae lank droog wees). Gesondheid Teken aan as die ooi enigsins siek was of mastitis gehad het. So kan diere 4. HOUSING An area of 7m² per goat is needed. It can be partially or completely sheltered. 400mm trough space is needed per goat. The feeding place must be so that the goats cannot climb into it. Hayracks are essential. Clean drinking water is essential. Make sure that drinking troughs are cleaned regularly. Shelter against the weather is essential for goats. Proper fences are essential, especially for kids. Once they have learned to go through fences, it is hard to get them out of this bad habit. Effective draining of water is essential to prevent any diseases. Always keep bucks separated from the does, it will prevent unpleasant tastes in the milk. 5. FEEDING Milk goats in production need a ration with enough protein. The ration must not contain more than 17% protein. Protein derived from urea is detrimental for milk goats. Try to avoid this. Milk goats need roughage to enable efficient rumen action, so that the maximum amount of nutrients can be converted into milk. Place a haystack with grass, hay or lucerne for the milk goats. Make sure that the mineral and vitamin requirements are attended to by giving supplements. 6. RECORD KEEPING Keep record of each animal as follows:

6 wat herhaaldelik dieselfde siekte kry en die res van die kudde benadeel, identifiseer en uitgeskakel word. 7. MELKPROSES Dit is nie die idiaal om hanslammers aan ooie te laat suip nie. Dit het groot skaalse uierprobleme tot gevolg en daar is geen manier om die melk inname van die lam te bepaal nie. Melking kan op twee maniere geskied naamlik met die hand of met n melkmasjien. Dit geskied op n verhoogde platvorm of putstelsel en moet ten alle tye higiënies wees. Toets elke speen voor melk of drink gee vir mastitis. Gebruik n speendoop na melking of waar lammers aan ooie suip vir die voorkoming van mastitis. GESONDHEIDSPROGRAM LAMMERS 1. LINTWURM - Doseer elke 21 dae vanaf 30 dae ouderdom tot speen 2. SEERBEK - ORF laat kweek vir jou entstof van die rowe van die besmette lammers op jou plaas en ent lammers vanaf 1 week. Die entstof moet jaarliks gekweek word. 3. PASTURELLA - ent vanaf 2 weke met een van die volgende middels en volg op na 6 weke vir goeie dekking ultra choice 7, Mulivax P, ewe-guard, onderstepoort pasturella entstof Herhaal dan 6 maandeliks. 4. LUISE - Bokkies byt en krap gebruik n opgietmiddel of dompeldip 5. INWENDIGE PARASIETE - Maak gebruik van eiertellings elke dae deur mis monsters te laat ontleed en doseer daarvolgens gebruik stelsel in hele kudde, die famacha metode kan ook gebruik word. 6. COCSIDIOSE - Doseer lammers op 2 Sire and dame to make sure that inbreeding does not take place Milk production to monitor the performance of each animal. Conformation Make notes on strengths and weaknesses of each doe to enable you to do corrective mating and in this way improve your herd. Mating date To dry up goats in time (does need to be dry for 45 days). Health To keep record of the goats health to avoid future diseases. 7. MILKING PROCESS It is not ideal to let kids suckle on the does, because it can cause udder infection and the intake of milk cannot be controlled. Milking can take place by hand or by machine. The machine milking must be on a platform to make it hygienic at all times. Test each teat for mastitis. Use a teat dip after each milking to avoid mastitis. HEALTH PROGRAM KIDS 1. TAPEWORM - Dose every 21 days from the age of 30 days till weaned. 2. ORF infection - inoculate kids from 1 week of age. Make a vaccine from the infected kids 3. PASTURELLA - Inoculate kids from the age of 2 weeks gave a booster inoculation 6 weeks later for good protection inoculation must be done every 6 months with one of the following ultrachoice 7, multivax P, ewe- guard 4. LICE - if kids scratch and bite use a pouron or a dip.

7 weke BAYCOX eenmalig VECOXAN kan ook gebruik word maar moet later herhaal word. Cocsidiose kan groot verliese tot gevolg hê. (dit is n stil moordenaar) 7. BRUSELA OVIS - Ent alle ramlammers wat terug gehou word REV1 voor 6 maande ouderdom. OOIE 1. PASTURELLA - Ent 6-8 weke voor lam met een van die bogenoemde middels daarna elke 6 maande 2. BLOEDNIER - Dieselfde entstowwe wat u gebruik vir pasturella dek ook bloednier. 3. BLOU UIER - Ent ooilammers 6 weke voor begin paar en alle ooie 6 weke voor lam. 4. ENZEOÖTIESE ABORSIE - 6 weke voor paring 5. BAARMOEDER SPONSSIEK - 2 maande voor lam 6. BLOUTONG - Ent in gebiede waar dit n probleem is 1-2 maande na lam 7. INWENDIGE PARASIETE - dieselfde as vir klein bokkies 8. MASTITIS - Gebruik n speendoop wat nie joduim bevat nie na elke melking. Behandel alle ooie wat opgedroog word met droë koeibehandeling, ooie in produksie wat herhaaldelik mastitis kry moet uitgeskot word. 9. CORINE BAKTERIEë - Ent diere jaarliks met n entstof wat dit beheer. RAMME 1. GEBRUIK DIESELFDE GESONDHEIDS PROGRAM AS DIE OOIE 2. VRUGBAARHEID - Laat doen vrugbaarheids toetse 6 weke voor aanvang van dekseisoen. 3. BRUSELLA OVIS - Koop slegs ramme wat voor 6 maande REV 1 gespuit is dit is hoogs aansteeklik. 5. INTERNAL PARASITES - Do an egg counting every days and treat your herd accordingly. The famacha method can also be used. 6. COCSIDIA - the silent killer, dose kids at age of 2 weeks with BACOX once, VECOXAN can also be used but must be repeated. 7. BRUCELLOSIS - Inoculate male kids at age of 3 months with REV 1. EWES 1. PASTURELLA weeks before kidding with one of the above mentioned. 2. PULPY KIDNEY - Most of the vaccines for pasturella cover it as well. 3. BLUE TONGE - Inoculate in regions where it s a problem 1-2 months after kidding. 4. BLUE UDDER - Inoculate young ewes 6 weeks before mating and all ewes 6 weeks before kidding. 5. ENZOOTIC ABORTION - inoculate 6 weeks before mating. 6. GANGRENE OF THE UTERUS - 2 months before kidding season on an annual basis. 7. MASTITIS - Use a teatdip and when drying up ewes us a dry cow treatment. 8. CORYNE BACTERIOSIS - inoculate annually. BUCKS 1. USE THE SAME HEALTH PROGRAM AS FOR THE EWES 2. FERTILITY - test all bucks 6 weeks prior to mating. 3. BRUCELLOSIS - Only buy bucks that were inoculated with REV 1.

8 SOUTHERN AFRICAN GOAT & SHEEP (SAGS) Milk Processors Organisation rina@belnori.co.za Who & What is SAGS? SAGS is closely related to the SA Milch Goats Breeders Society in that the latter identified the need to develop some form of standard regarding the purity of Goat s Milk and any products manufactured there from. Thus the S A Milch Goats Breeders Society have registered a Certification Mark verifying that any product that carries the Mark is made from 100% Goat s Milk. Such Certification Mark is granted under license and contract to processors who can verify that: the milk used is obtained from an animal that is at least 7/8 Swiss type Milch Goat as defined by the Breeder s Society and no other milk type has been added in. The primary aim of SAGS is to promote and co-ordinate the interests of its members. Its mission is to promote a sustainable and economically viable small stock (goat & sheep) dairy industry based on free market principles. Its role will be to act as the coordinating body for the Southern African goat milk and sheep milk industry to the benefit of all stakeholders in the value chain. The initial tasks then are to: establish a forum through which to communicate; 100% Goat s Milk S A G S C e r tifi e d make available standards for both established and new (or aspirant) entrants; manage the Certification Mark (applicable to only goat s milk at this stage)- the initial reason for the need of an organisation. SAGS will only grant use of the Certification Mark to concerns known to use pure Goat s milk and not milk blends (i.e. using bovine or other milk with Goat Milk). A Certification mark for Sheep Milk products is in the making. For the benefit of you, the Consumer, all Processors who become members will be listed as such. There is sure to be someone in close proximity to where you are! Apart from the proven and claimed health benefits, products from these milk types are wonderful, varied and interesting. The fact that the milk is obtained from small-stock encourages smaller farmers and we have seen many artisanal cheese-makers enter the market. The result is a myriad number of personalised brands, lovingly hand-crafted by passionate people for connoisseurs like you. The products are mostly sold at speciality stores, good cheese counters and Farmer s/ Craft markets. We trust that what our members create and make will become your Products of Preference. BREAKING NEWS: At the 2010 SA Dairy Championships, SAGS members left an indelible mark. No less than three Cheeseries were awarded Qualitè awards Goat Peter, La Rochelle and Belnori Boutique Cheesery. Others who had cheeses that ranked in the top three were: Ovis Angelica, Beaconsfield, Indezi River Cheese, Foxenburg Estate, Die Melkbok and Crackers about Cheese AND... Goat Peter walked away with top honours of the CHEESE OF THE YEAR!!. SAGS brings you the BEST
