Die ontplooiing van die veekundepotensiaal van die droe gras‐ bosgemeenskappe in die oos‐kaap

Uittreksel

Die droë gras‐ bosgemeenskappe van die Oos‐Kaap is omvangryke voerbronne en die ontpiooiing van die veekunde potensiaal word bespreek. Twee duidelik onderskeidende voerbronne is aanwesig wat die inskakeling van struik‐ sowel as grasbenutters in ‘n veeproduksiestelsel vereis. Riglyne vir die meervoudige benutting van die beskikbare plantegroei word neergelê.

Abstract

The dry grass bush communities of the Eastern Cape are comprehensive forage sources and the development of the animal production potential is discussed. Two clearly defined forage sources are available which make it imperative to include browsers as well as grazers in the animal production system. Guidelines to the multiple use of the available vegetation are given.
