Driven by a love for people, animals, and the outdoors, Yara Animal Nutritionist Elmari Relling found her calling in animal nutrition. “It challenges me, keeps me learning, and lets me make a real difference.”

She believes women bring vital perspectives to agriculture and values working closely with farmers who are deeply connected to nature and their animals.

“You need solid science, but it must work on the farm. That’s where experience counts.”

Thank you, Elmari, for helping shape a healthier, more sustainable future in farming.

As the dry season ends and the rainy season approaches, it’s time to start thinking about your livestock’s nutritional needs for the new season. We offer the solutions you need to ensure your animals are ready to thrive in the warmer months ahead.

Young green grass contains a large amount of moisture and very little fibre. Do not stop your winter supplements abruptly, but rather slowly replace your winter supplement with a phosphate and salt supplement to ensure smooth transition to green grass and minimum weight loss of your animals.

Let’s make sure your farm stays strong and productive through every season.

Wanneer weiding se voedingswaarde in die winter daal, kan 'n strategiese gebalanseerde proteïen en fosfaat aanvulling jou kudde se gesondheid en produktiwiteit beskerm.

Gee jou kudde die beste kans vir ’n sterk, gesonde begin in die lente deur nou hul voedingstekorte aan te vul.

Jors en Nadia Roberts van Noord-Namibië gebruik al jare lank Kimtrafos P12 en meer onlangs ook PhosSure in hul winterlekmengsels. In dié video vertel Joris hoekom hulle verkies om fosfaat regdeur die jaar aan hul kudde te gee — en hoekom hulle so tevrede is met die resultate. Van kalwers tot melkproduksie, die kondisie van hul beeste spreek boekdele.

Kyk saam en hoor hoekom volgehoue voeding ’n verskil maak, veral in uitdagende tye van die jaar.

When the first rains after the winter falls and grass starts to sprout, the first reaction is to stop all winter supplements and to start with summer salt and phosphate supplements. Unfortunately, spring grass contains an abundance of water and grass can be in short supply. Cattle grazing on these green sprouts will be filling up on water without getting adequate fiber and nutrients.

A solution to this issue is to keep giving winter supplements while giving a salt/phosphate supplement separately. Do this until there is a fair amount of green grass which is at least 10 cm in height. As the water content of the grass decreases and the volume of grass increases, animals will start to consume less of the winter supplement and it can gradually be removed until only the phosphate supplement is given. This practice will ensure that animals do not lose a lot of weight during the first few weeks after the first rains have fallen.

Nie net vir somer nie – Phospro 17 is ‘n winterwenner ook. Selfs ’n stukkende sak kan nie keer hoe gewild hy is nie.

Hierdie ou het duidelik sy hande… of eerder sy gesig, vol gehad. 😋

Winter can be tough on livestock, but with the right care, your animals can remain strong and productive. We offer solutions to help you manage nutrition through the colder months.

As the protein content of winter grass is low to very low, we need to supplement our animals with protein to ensure minimum weight loss during the dry season.

Let’s keep your livestock healthy and your farm running smoothly this winter: https://yara-sa.co.za/

Tydens die uithouritte se jaarlikse Nationale kampioenskappe by Fauresmith wat oor 206km in 3 dae plaasvind het Zelma Oberholzer, een van ons tegniese adviseurs, gaan deelneem.

Sy is verkies tot die ERASA nationale span vir Standaard gewig kategorie, en was ook die kaptein. 280 ruiters het begin waarvan 149 klaar gemaak het, streng reels word gevolg en veeartse kyk op gereelde basis na die perde om seker te maak hulle is reg om aan te gaan.

Zelma het 7de in haar katogorie geeindig, en hulle span het dan ook die span kompetisie gewen.

Gebruik Fosfaatbronne wat benutbaar is deur jou diere

Met stygende insetkostes is boere voordurend opsoek na alternatiewe roumateriale om kostes te sny. Fosfaat aanvulling is duur, maar noodsaaklik vir groei, produksie en reproduksie, daarom moet daar nie net na prys nie, maar ook na die benutbaarheid van die fosfaat in ‘n bron gekyk word.

Anorganiese fosfaatbronne soos MCP, MDCP en DCP bly die beste keuse as dit by fosfaat aanvullings kom. Dit mag lyk of ander fosfaat bronne soos hoendermis, beenmeel en sedimentere rotsfosfate ’n goedkoper alternatief kan wees.

Wanneer na hierdie alternatiewe bronne gekyk word moet die volgende in ag geneem word.

Hoendermis se fosfaat inhoud is eintlik baie laag (+/-1.6 %) en daar moet redelike hoeveelhede gevoer word om aan diere se behoeftes te voldoen- hoe meer jy moet voer hoe duurder word ‘n goedkoop produk.

Die voer van hoendermis bring ook ‘n string ander probleme mee soos gesondheids risikos en is veral nie vir skape geskik nie.

Beenmeel mag dalk meer fosfaat bevat as hoendermis, maar dit bly steeds onwettig om beenmeel aan beeste en skape te voer. Die fosfaat in beenmeel varieer van so laag as 1.1 % tot so hoog as 7.3% maar kom voor in die trikalsium fosfaat vorm, ‘n redelike onbeskikbare vorm van fosfaat – met ander woorde -die diere kan nie die fosfaat benut nie.

Sedimentêre rots fosfaat is wel natuurlik en hoog in fosfaat (8 – 10 %), maar, net soos in die geval van beenmeel, is die fosfaat ook in die trikalsium fosfaat vorm. Fosfaat kan as ’n kunsmis bron stadig in die grond vrygestel word, maar die rumen is nie grond nie en is die bron van fosfaat is nie juis oplosbaar in die rumen nie en dus ook nie benutbaar deur die diere nie.

Diere sal nie onmiddelik ‘n fosfaat tekort toon nie, maar oor ‘n tydperk groei die diere swakker, produseer hulle minder melk en neem reproduksie en speen gewigte af. Soms is goedkoop op papier, duur op die dier.

Boer slim. Voer verantwoordelik. En gebruik fosfaat wat jou diere werklik kan benut.
