About

In 1990 we became the first private entity in South Africa to install a Phase C testing station. With its recent upgrade and inclusion of the latest technology and software, we can now test up to 216 animals per cycle, with three test cycles per year.

The ongoing testing has led to an advancement in the genetic selection of the stud, which in turn has significantly improved the feeding efficiency of the Bonsmara stud, contributing to its proven economic efficiency.

UREA POISONING GUIDE

WARNING

  • These animal feeds contain urea and other NPN sources. Pellets should be fed strictly according to the directions for use.

  • Animals that are not adapted to urea rations must be fed a salt-phosphate lick for seven (7) days prior to feeding urea rations. Vinegar is an effective antidote for NPN poisoning. Mix equal parts of vinegar and water and dose half a bottle per calf or large sheep and 2–4 bottles per head of cattle (1 bottle = 750ml).

  • Protect feed from rain as NPN can dissolve in water. Animals that consume this contaminated mixture can be poisoned.

  • Do not offer this feed indiscriminately with other feeds that contain NPN.

Contact the Sernick technical staff for further information and enquiries.
