How to avoid losing your livestock during the drought seasons and reduce negative impact of limited grazing

Strategies to avoid drought impact in Maun and the surrounding Region

By Kabelo Kaparang, Tholo Holdings (Stock Feed Suppliers)

  • Feeding cattle and taking care of livestock will double their cattle numbers
  • Drought affects Maun mostly because the grazing space is small
  • Feeding twice to three times a day will take care of the problem of losing cattle during drought
  • The government subsidized livestock feed, making it cheaper for farmers to secure a large quantity of  livestock feed
  • Feeding animals increase their productivity hence doubles their numbers
  • The bull should be taken care of the most,  Zero grazing is expensive but preferable
  • It costs more to take care of the bull if they are not on zero grazing because they are affected by diseases like foot and mouth
  • Injections, supplements and feeding take care of most negative impacts caused by a lack thereof. 
  • Feeding livestock would drastically reduce the Foot and mouth disease,which is currently increasing due to livestock grazing in the far outskirts
