Gastrointestinal parasites pose significant health risks to farm animals, leading to reduced productivity, impaired growth, and in severe cases, death.
Genetic improvement in livestock through artificial insemination (AI) is a revolutionary technique that has significantly influenced the agricultural sector.
Silage testing is a crucial step in evaluating the nutritional value, safety, and overall quality of silage as feed for livestock. By understanding the results of silage tests, farmers and livestock managers can make informed decisions about ration formulation, storage improvements, and feeding strategies.
Grass silage is a staple feed in many livestock operations, providing essential nutrients through the winter or dry periods when pasture is not available.
Creating an effective storage solution for silage is crucial for preserving its nutritional value and ensuring it remains free from spoilage and contamination.
Effective silage management is essential for producing high-quality feed that preserves the nutritional value of harvested forage, ensuring livestock health and productivity. The process involves several critical stages: harvesting the forage, ensiling it correctly, and collecting the finished product for feeding. Here’s an in-depth look at each of these stages.
Evaluating maize (corn) before harvest is crucial for determining the optimal time to start the harvest and ensuring the maximum yield and quality of the crop. The evaluation focuses on several key indicators that signal the crop's readiness for harvest. These indicators relate to the physiological maturity of the maize, the moisture content of the kernels, and the condition of the stalks and leaves. By carefully monitoring these signs, farmers can decide the best time to harvest their maize to achieve the highest quality and minimize losses.
Silage inoculation with specific microbial inoculants is a key strategy to enhance the fermentation process and improve the nutritional quality, palatability, and stability of silage.
We have established cooperation with Damian Roberts already in 2017 through preventive veterinary care for their cattle and goats on the Kachere farm in Chisamba
I've been working with VVS for 4 years on the development of the Zambian market and I've just started moving around the farms in South Moravia, so here's my introduction for those who don't know me yet.
At the end of May we, VVS Vermerovice s.r.o., had a pleasure to host an incoming mission from Zambia consiting of experts and entrepreneurs from well known Zambian businesses
VVS Zambia along with VVS Czech Republic had a chance to present the mutual cooperation at the Agritech expo show happening from the 7th till the 9th of April 2022.
VVS has started its work in Zambia only 2 years ago, but we were already able to penetrate the market through our succesful cooperation with likes as Livestock services, Novatek and many of the large scale dairy farmers.
