Video 2 – Over Fat bulls
Are your bulls in top condition for auction?
Bulls that are either too fat or too thin can hurt both performance and your bottom line. At MOLATEK, we offer expert advice to ensure your bulls are fit, healthy, and ready for the auction or breeding season.
While overfat bulls might look impressive, excess weight or fat can negatively impact fertility, mobility, and longevity. A well-conditioned bull ensures functional efficiency and better adaptability.
Is jou bulle in top-kondisie vir die veiling?
Bulle wat te vet of te maer is, kan ’n negatiewe impak op prestasie en winsgewendheid hê. By MOLATEK gee ons kundige advies om te verseker dat jou bulle gesond bly en in optimale kondisie is vir die veiling of dekseisoen.
Terwyl oorvet bulle indrukwekkend kan lyk, kan oortollige gewig en vet jou bulle se vrugbaarheid, mobiliteit en lewensduur negatief beïnvloed. ’n Goed gekondisioneerde bul verseker funksionele doeltreffendheid en beter aanpasbaarheid.

Video 3 – acidosis
Prepare your bulls correctly for peak performance.
Proper feeding practices are crucial for maintaining healthy bulls that are ready for both the breeding season and auction. Gradual diet transitions at the right times, and adequate roughage, can make all the difference in your bulls’ performance and rumen health.
Berei jou bulle korrek voor vir topprestasie.
Behoorlike voedingspraktyke is van kardinale belang om bulle gesond en gereed te hou vir beide teelseisoen en die veiling. Geleidelike rantsoen aanpassings en voldoende ruvoer sal beter rumengesondheid tot gevolg hê asook optimale prestasie verseker.

Video 4 – the impact of acidosis on hoof health
A sudden diet change for your bulls or overeating can lead to acidosis—and ultimately hoof damage.
Acidosis occurs when there’s a rapid shift in the cattle’s diet, particularly when they’re suddenly fed large amounts of high-starch or sugary feed. This drastic change can overwhelm the rumen and lead to an imbalance in the pH levels of the digestive system.
A sudden diet change can seem like a quick fix, but it’s crucial to plan carefully. Protect your bulls from acidosis and ensure their hooves—and your farm’s profitability—stay strong!
’n Skielike dieetverandering, of bulle wat oorvreet, kan tot suurpens lei—en uiteindelik klouprobleme.
Suurpens vind plaas wanneer daar ‘n vinnige verandering in die bulle se dieet is, veral wanneer hulle skielik groot hoeveelhede hoë-stysel- of suikerryke voer inneem. Hierdie drastiese verandering kan die rumen oorweldig en lei tot ‘n wanbalans in die pH-vlakke van die spysverteringstelsel.
‘n Skielike dieetverandering blyk om ‘n vinnige oplossing te wees, maar dit is noodsaaklik om versigtig te beplan. Beskerm jou bulle teen suurpens, en verseker hul kloue—en jou plaas se winsgewendheid—bly sterk!
