2.2 Nutritional Diseases and Metabolic Crises (Dr. Nico du Preez) 00.54.42
How do subtle dietary shifts trigger catastrophic herd losses? Join Dr. Nico du Preez to dissect the physiological triggers of nutritional and metabolic diseases in goats.
2.3 Mastering Goat Nutrition: Rations, Raw Materials, and Precision Feeding (Willie Rossouw) 00.48.00
How does the perfect balance between protein, energy, and minerals unlock your herd’s true genetic potential? Join Willie Rossouw, National Sales Manager at Envarto, to explore why “half of the breeding is in the feeding.”
2.4 – Principles of Goat Nutrition & Raw Material Selection (Dr Linde du Toit)
How do you optimize herd health and maximize returns when feed represents up to 70% of your total production costs? Join Dr Linde du Toit from the University of Pretoria to master the core principles of goat nutrition and raw material selection.
2.5 Pasture Optimization & Strategic Grazing Management (Wouter)
Are you truly maximizing the potential of your land, or is your pasture holding your livestock back? Most farmers accept depleted soil and soaring feed bills as unavoidable.
