Willie verduidelik hoe vinnig ’n uitbreking kan versprei. In ’n bekende geval in 2019 het diere vanaf ’n enkele veiling na 187 verskillende bestemmings beweeg; ’n perfekte voorbeeld van die sogenaamde “snowball”-effek wat siektebeheer baie moeiliker maak. Die gesprek raak ook aan belangrike temas soos:

 

• Waarom veediefstal sedert 2018 met ongeveer 30% afgeneem het. • Hoe streng biosekuriteitsreëls by veilings sedert 2020 groter bewustheid geskep het.

• Die rol van die Livestock Identification and Traceability System South Africa om naspeurbaarheid in die veesektor te verbeter.

• Hoe tegnologie soos die E2 Project help om plattelandse paaie en veebewegings te monitor. Willie bespreek ook die groter strukturele probleme, soos verouderde wetgewing, beperkte samewerking tussen sektore en die noodsaaklikheid dat boere hul houding teenoor biosekuriteit moet verander.

 

Volgens hom gaan die toekoms van die bedryf afhanklik wees van samewerking tussen boere, georganiseerde landbou, die staat en wetstoepassing. Met nuwe entstowwe wat beskikbaar raak en groter bewustheid oor biosekuriteit, glo hy daar is steeds 'n lig in die tonnel vir die Suid-Afrikaanse veesektor.

Hierdie gesprek fokus op hoe gestruktureerde genetiese keuses en data-gedrewe bestuur ’n direkte impak het op produktiwiteit en winsgewendheid. Wat jy in hierdie video sal leer:

 

Aanpasbaarheid en Prestasie: Waarom die Afrikaner-koei ’n uiters betroubare moederlyn bied, en hoe Angus-genetika vleiskwaliteit en groei verbeter.

 

Boerdery as ’n Besigheid: Die belangrikheid van ’n professionele, data-gedrewe benadering tot besluitneming. Kruisteling en Heterose: Hoe kruisings onmiddellik voordele bied in vrugbaarheid, melkproduksie en bestuursgemak.

 

Prestasiemeting: Die waarde van konsekwente weegdata en teelwaardes om genetiese vooruitgang te versnel. Markgerigtheid: Hoe ’n eenvormige, voorspelbare produk beter pryse en premies in voerkrale behaal.

 

Biosekuriteit: Praktiese riglyne om kuddegesondheid te beskerm, met spesifieke fokus op siektebeheer en inentings. Wikus beklemtoon dat volhoubare sukses in landbou berus op voortdurende verbetering, om doelbewus elke seisoen beter te produseer as die vorige een deur die effektiewe gebruik van genetika en betroubare data.  ]]> Business Wed, 25 Mar 2026 16:31:00 +0200 0 0 Strategiese Kruisteling in die Beesbedryf: Wikus deel Praktiese Insigte uit Homestale 0 0 Jacques Basson full 30:05 Herkouers https://iono.fm/e/1671357 https://iono.fm/e/1671357
Hierdie episode gee ’n omvattende ontleding van die Suid-Afrikaanse varkbedryf in 2025: van biosekuriteit en Afrika-varkpes, tot Pork 360, graanpryse, varkvleisverbruik, genetika, kommersiële produksie, bemarking en die waarde­ketting. SAPPO se rol, die impak van hoë insetkoste, en die groei­geleenthede vir 2026 word volledig ontleed.

1. Die Varkbedryf se Pad na Herstel in 2025

Die varksektor het moeilike jare oorleef:
• Afrika-varkpes (AVP) in 2018
• COVID-19
• Rekordhoë graanpryse (mielies teen R6 000/ton in 2024)

In 2025 draai die sektor egter positief:
• Graanpryse daal
• Varkkarkaspryse styg
• Hoër beesvleispryse weens Bek-en-Klouseer (BKS) skep verdere momentum vir varkvleis

Varkprodusente kan weer uitbrei, intensifiseer en vir 2026 beplan.

2. Bedryfskoste, Produktiwiteit en Genetika

Twee-derdes van produksiekoste is voer (mielies & soja).
Ten spyte hiervan het die sektor volhoubaar gebly deur:

• Beter slagkwaliteit
• Hoër aantal varkies per sog
• Massiewe genetiese verbeterings

Suid-Afrika gebruik wêreldklas varkgenetika: semen word elke 7 weke ingevoer.
Varkproduksie is ’n hoogs berekende, skoon, tegniese proses.

3. Die Varkwaardeketting: Van Eskort tot Sog- en Groei-eenhede

Die bedryf funksioneer in verskeie modelle:

• Volledig geïntegreerde stelsels (produsent → abattoir → kleinhandel)
• Geskeide sog- en groeieenhede
• Waardekettinguitbreiding deur primêre produsente

Toetrede is duur en kapitaalintensief. Die kommersiële minimum skaal beweeg na 400 sôe, teenoor 200 ’n paar jaar gelede.

4. Dieregesondheid, Biosekuriteit en Handel

Biosekuriteit is die basis van oorleefbare varkproduksie.

• AVP-ervarings het praktyke verbeter
• Geen BKS-gevalle in varke tydens die beesbedryf se uitbreking nie
• Beweging in beheerde gebiede bly ’n uitdaging

Kompartementstelsels

Die varkbedryf gebruik gesertifiseerde siektevrye kompartemente (“geo-omheining”), ideaal vir intensiewe eenhede en streekgebonde handel.

5. Bemarking, Verbruikersopvoeding en Varkvleispersepsies

SAPPO het ’n sterk nalatenskap van:

• Handelsmerkbou
• Digitale bemarking
• Resepontwikkeling
• Karkasbalansering
• Onderwys oor snitte soos varknek en vark-ribeye

Belangrike wanopvattings word aangespreek:

• Mite: varkvleis veroorsaak mangelontsteking
• Mite: varkvleis is te vet (’n varktjop is ’n maer proteïen)
• Mite: varkproduksie is onhigiënies

Varkvleisverbruik in SA is laag teenoor Europa of China – ’n groot groei­geleentheid.

6. Naspeurbaarheid & Kwaliteitversekering: Pork 360

Pork 360 (sedert 2013) verseker:

• Dierewelsyn
• Biosekuriteit
• Produksieprosesse
• Volledige digitale naspeurbaarheid vanaf plaas tot abattoir

Dit is hoofsaaklik ’n B2B-kwaliteitsversekeringsprogram wat die hele waardeketting se vertroue bou.

7. Ontluikende Boere en SAPPO se Rol

SAPPO ondersteun kleiner boere (5 – 150 sôe) deur:

• Besigheidsontwikkelingsbestuurders
• Produksie-opleiding
• Biosekuriteitsopgraderings
• Produktiwiteitswins

Hierdie boere kry beter toegang tot informele markte, mits hul standaarde op kommersiële vlak kom.

8. Samewerking en Hoë-Tegnologie Produksie

Varkboerdery funksioneer soos ’n geslote, gemeganiseerde fabriek waar:

• Genetika streng beheer word
• Biosekuriteit alles bepaal
• Produksie meetbaar en herhaalbaar is

Werkgroepe is skaars omdat fisiese byeenkomste groot siekterisiko’s inhou. ]]> Business Thu, 27 Nov 2025 07:50:00 +0200 0 0 Suid-Afrikaanse Varkbedryf: Pryse, Biosekuriteit en Pork 360 0 0 Jacques Basson full 40:41 Herkouers https://iono.fm/e/1671358 https://iono.fm/e/1671358
Suid-Afrika beleef sy ernstigste Bek-en-Kloueerseer (B&K) krisis in lewende geheue. Hierdie episode bied ’n omvattende ontleding van die huidige stand van sake, waarom die virus buite beheer is, die ekonomiese risiko’s, die mislukkings in beheer, en die terreinverskuiwende oplossings wat onmiddellik geïmplementeer moet word om ’n nasionale landboukatastrofe te voorkom.

Die bronne bied ’n in-diepte bespreking oor die kritieke toestand, die redes vir die huidige krisis, en die pad vorentoe.

1. Huidige Stand van Sake: B&K buite beheer

Die sprekers is dit eens dat hierdie die ergste B&K-uitbraak van hul loopbane is.

• Die hoeveelheid positiewe gevalle volg ’n eksponensiële kurwe – dit word weekliks erger, nie beter nie.
• Die siekte is nie meer beperk tot intensiewe produksiestelsels nie; stoet- en primêre boere word nou wyd geraak.
• Laboratoriums is oorweldig en weke agter, met tot 400 monsters wat daagliks wag om getoets te word.

2. Wat B&K is – en waarom dit so ekonomies vernietigend is

B&K is ’n virale siekte met drie subtipes in Suid-Afrika, wat letsels veroorsaak aan die bek en hoewe. Diere herstel oor die algemeen, maar die ekonomiese impak is massief.

Suiwel

• Melk word onverkoopbaar weens verhoogde somatiese seltelling.
• Kwarantyn blokkeer beweging, slagtings en produksie; boere moet steeds voer teen vol koste.

Beesvleis

• Diere word onmiddellik onbemarkbaar, veral vir voerkrale en uitvoerkanale.

Klein- en Kommunale Boere

• Finansiële impak is kleiner, maar onbeheerde beweging in hierdie segment is waarskynlik die grootste verspreider van die virus.

3. Waarom die situasie buite beheer raak
3.1 Onbeheerde dierebeweging

Diere word onwettig geskuif vir sosiale en kulturele geleenthede sonder permitte.

3.2 Besmetlike vervoer

Trokke word nie behoorlik skoongemaak nie en dra die virus van plaas tot plaas. Geen gevolge vir nie-nakoming nie.

3.3 Gebrek aan openbare begrip

Verkeersbeamptes, kleinboere en die breër publiek verstaan nie die siekte of die permitregulasies nie.

3.4 Staat se kapasiteitsprobleme

Omdat B&K ’n staatsbeheerde siekte is, moet die staat beweging beheer – maar die proses is traag, hiërargies en onderbeman.

3.5 Inentingsdilemma

Huidige entstowwe veroorsaak dat diere positief toets, wat uitvoere blokkeer. Dit verhinder effektiewe massavaksinasie.

4. Oplossings: Wat onmiddellik moet gebeur
4.1 Tegnologie en Naspeurbaarheid

Papierstelsels faal. Tegnologie is ononderhandelbaar.

• ID Scan en digitale identifikasie: Pin-ligging, oorsprong, rooi sone-verifikasie en naspeurbaarheid vir elke dier.
• Risikobestuur by veilings: Veilingshuise kan diere weier wat uit hoërisiko-areas kom of wat geen gesondheidsgeskiedenis het nie.

4.2 Inenting as stabiliserende strategie

Inenting is die mees logiese, onmiddellike instrument om verspreiding te stop.

• Buffer-inenting werk en moet aggressief uitgebrei word.
• Kapasiteit vir entstofproduksie moet dringend verhoog word.
• Beheerde slagting vir ingeënte diere moet toegelaat word om finansiële verliese te beperk.
• Toekomstige entstowwe wat onderskei tussen ingeënte en natuurlik besmette diere is ongeveer 12 maande weg.

4.3 Afdwinging en regeringsoptrede

Die staat het die mag om die polisie en weermag in te span vir bewegingbeheer.
Dit gebeur egter nie, ten spyte van die omvang van die krisis nie.

• Dierebeweging moet onmiddellik streng gekontroleer word.
• Afdwingbare stelsels moet ingestel word – privaat sektor sal waarskynlik eerste moet beweeg.
• Boere, veilingshuise en voerkrale moet self risikosones definieer en aankoop uit sekere areas weier totdat beheer herstel is.

5. Die Pad Vorentoe

Suid-Afrika moet terugkeer na:

• streng, beproefde siektebeheer
• tegnologie-gedrewe naspeurbaarheid
• massabufferinenting
• afdwingbare bewegingsbeheer

Sonder drastiese ingryping verloor Suid-Afrika sy uitvoermarkte permanent, met rampspoedige gevolge vir voedselsekuriteit, werksgeleenthede en kommersiële boerdery. ]]> Business Thu, 27 Nov 2025 07:02:00 +0200 0 0 Bek-en-Klouseer Uitbreking: SA se Landboukrisis 0 0 Jacques Basson full 49:21 Herkouers https://iono.fm/e/1671359 https://iono.fm/e/1671359

Die 7 Kritiese B's van Moderne Veeboerdery Jan Meiburg verduidelik die fundamentele "B's" wat elke suksesvolle veeplaas moet bemeester:

Bestuur: Finansiële-, risiko- en veiligheidsbestuur

Beheer: Weet presies watter dier waar is

Bemarking: Naspeurbaarheid maak effektiewe bemarking moontlik Behandel: Weet presies watter dier behandeling ontvang het Beskerm: Beskerming teen diefstal Banke/Bate: Beeste as sekuriteit vir finansiering Bewyding: Lokasie-identifikasie vir weidingsbestuur

Die kern van al hierdie faktore? Beheer. En die fondasie van beheer? Permanente, bewysbare identifikasie. Die Ekonomiese Impak: Suid-Afrika se Miljard-Rand Geleentheid Terwyl top kommersiële boere kalfpersentasies van 85% bereik, sit die nasionale gemiddeld op slegs 65%.

Klein- en gemeenskapsboere sien dikwels syfers so laag as 20-30%. Hierdie verskil verteenwoordig 'n enorme ekonomiese geleentheid. Die sprekers beklemtoon: as Suid-Afrika sy kalfproduksie kan verbeter, kan die land transformeer van 'n netto-invoerder tot 'n netto-uitvoerder van vleis.

Dit vereis egter presiese bestuur - en presiese bestuur vereis permanente identifikasie. 'n Gevallestudie illustreer die punt: 'n gesig-ekseem uitbraak op 'n melkplaas het gelei tot 'n verlies van 3 liter melk per koei per dag oor ses maande - 'n berekende verlies van R1.48 miljoen. Hierdie finansiële kwantifisering was nodig om skeptiese boere te oortuig van die ernstige impak van swak bestuur.

Die Rol van Belanghebbendes Voerkrale werk met uiters klein winsmarges en benodig omvattende data vir risiko-bestuur. Hulle wil weet: Hoe goed het die primêre produsent die dier bestuur? Watter inentings? Watter voeding? 'n Kalf met permanente identifikasie en bewese bestuur is minder risiko - en daarom meer werd. Banke en versekeraars is gretig om die bedryf te betree, maar versigtig.

Permanente identifikasie bied die nodige bewys dat vee dien as sekuriteit vir finansiering. Die finansiële sektor behoort hierdie tegnologie "van bo af" te dryf. Kleinhandelaars en verbruikers eis toenemend naspeurbaarheid. Verbruikers gebruik QR-kodes op verpakking om gedetailleerde inligting oor die vleis se oorsprong en reis te bekom.

Die Struikelblokke Tradisionele identifikasiemetodes - oormerkies, tatoeëermerke, brandmerke - kan verlore raak, afgesny word, of verander word. Wetgewing is stadig om nuwe tegnologie te integreer. Baie boere sien die implementeringskoste (R1 per dier per jaar) as 'n uitgawe eerder as 'n belegging. Die Denkskuif Wat Nodig Is Die bedryf moet wegbeweeg van "Wat gaan dit my kos?" na "Wat gaan ek daaruit kry?" Boere moet ophou fokus op slegs hektaar grond, en eerder maksimaliseer wins per hektaar.

Die twee grootste onmiddellike geleenthede: diefstalgvermindering (stop die lekkende emmer) en verbetering van lae kalfpersentasies. Die stelsel en kennisbasis bestaan.

Permanente identifikasie is die gereedskap wat nodig is om presiese bestuur te ondersteun en hierdie potensiaal te realiseer. Suid-Afrika se huidige boerderymetodologie word as "primitief" beskou vergeleke met hoëtegnologie-graanboerdery. Die vraag is: Is die bedryf gereed vir die denkskuif? ]]> Business Thu, 06 Nov 2025 11:04:00 +0200 0 0 Die 7 B's van Presisieboerdery 0 0 Jacques Basson full 51:45 Herkouers https://iono.fm/e/1671362 https://iono.fm/e/1671362
Ontdek hoe jou unieke fisiese eienskappe, van jou loopstyl herkenning tot 'n bees se snoetafdruk, die sleutel word tot identifikasie wat selfs misdadigers nie kan namaak nie. Ons bespreek die SAPS IFIS stelsel, gesigsherkenning tegnologie in winkelsentrums, en hoe ID Scan se wêreld-eerste beeste identifikasie stelsel miljarde rande se verliese aan veediefstal voorkom.

Van vingerafdruk identifikasie en AI in forensiese ondersoek tot vee naspeurbaarheid en landbou tegnologie - hierdie episode dek die volledige spektrum van biometriese sekuriteitstelsel toepassings wat Suid-Afrikaanse innovasie op die wêreldkaart plaas.

  - Vee opsporing stelsel en livestock tracking
  
- Naspeurbaarheid vir Uitvoere:
  - Bewys vir versekeraars en finansierders
  - Internasionale kopers kan verifieer diere kom nie van ontboste gebiede nie
  - Sleutel tot toegang tot wêreldmarkte
  - Vee naspeurbaarheid vir beeste uitvoer vereistes
  - Farm-to-fork traceability en agricultural traceability

### Ander Diere-Biometriese Eienskappe:
- Sebra se unieke strepe
- Olifante se unieke merke
- Lipafdrukke
- Oorafdrukke
- Retina-skanderings

  - Ballistiese identifikasie en forensiese wetenskap

### Tegnologiese Nuanses:
- Identifikasie vs. Verifikasie:
  - Identifikasie: Een-tot-baie vergelyking (Wie is hierdie persoon?)
  - Verifikasie: Een-tot-een vergelyking (Is hierdie persoon wie hulle beweer hulle is?)
  - Verskil in verwerkingskrag benodig
  - Biometriese verifikasie vs biometriese identifikasie
  
- "Garbage In, Garbage Out":
  - Datakwaliteit is krities
  - Stelsel kan slegs korreleer met data wat reeds in databasis is
  - Verifieer altyd die invoer en uitset
  - Data kwaliteit in biometriese stelsels

### Toekoms van Biometrie:
- AI en masjienleer dryf vinnige ontwikkeling
- Potensiële satelliettegnologie vir langafstand-identifikasie
