@francechirima @pcralph @BrianFlemingM On closer look,he seem to have been a breeding bull at some stage.His tools seem to have been taken out and in so doing the breeding value is lost.He is now more of a pot value than breeding.If still a bull,then the tools box is empty.

@pcralph @BrianFlemingM Realistic dressing percentage on the beast is 50%.carcass weight of 425kg is more realistic

@MutonhodzaPhil @TafadzwaMugwadi @VPHaritatos Thats the importance of evidence based and data driven analysis.If inputs and other associated costs akaiswa apo vs offtaker prices vanotoona vakaita loss.Advantage inozongova pakuti pane parimwa ne presidential inputs whichvare subsidised by tax payers.

@ZimbabweHistor2 You just did this documentation of the Ngara people.I did this animal health related post in one part of Zimuto.

@ForwardMakasi1 @david7zoe @PoteDior @ShephardGarikai While this help as a firefighting measure,the extent to which antibiotics are pumped into production animals is going to have a huge impact in Public health.From tetracyclines as part of JD and TBDs Tx to Penicillins in LSD management.Vaccinations outside the risk period is key

@MoLAFWRD_Zim @obertjiri @FAOLivestock @DVSZim @ShumbaCoopers @chronicle @DeptCommsZW @ZANUPF_Official @DairibordLtd @ILRI @WOAH State media report in 2023.Same minister,same company,more or less similar promise.3 years later,over 1000 cattle deaths reported in Bubi district in just few months.Its like kungoti mombe dzepadhibha 1 dzakapera kufa.

@MoLAFWRD_Zim @obertjiri @FAOLivestock @DVSZim @ShumbaCoopers @chronicle @DeptCommsZW @ZANUPF_Official @DairibordLtd @ILRI @WOAH Boom-its all like a new discovery.Those companies have always been there and the same official once visited the company some years back on the same mission.Getting those to a diptank in Mbire,Gutu,Buhera,Bubi is where the challenge lies[reliable funding and distribution]

[Dr R2M @vetinchief]

@nickmangwana If the livestock movement clearance has been scrapped,it has no bearing to those at the bottom of the value chains.Its an incentive to the top actors in LVCs.A lorry with capacty of 20 ringarwadza here kubvisirwa 10USD asi murimi achengeta onzi 2.00 to 2.50 dipping fee per beast.

@MoLAFWRD_Zim @obertjiri @VPHaritatos @ZBCNewsonline @HeraldZimbabwe @StarfmZimbabwe @zfu_official @ZCFU_official We seem to be always launching, launch again and relaunching. we are supposed to be getting updates on how launched programmes are impacting communities as this farmer is doing after participating in one AI programme.Plan-put inputs-report on outputs-do M n E-Share impact

@faraieric @MaminiminiObert @ForwardMakasi1 @AgritexS Those have been problematic in Mbire for years.They ate Armoured Crickets[vanomati Magomba].People who ate them always said anoita urwadziwe when urinating[They seem to be nephrotoxic]

[Dr R2M @vetinchief]

@ZBCNewsonline Always reactive.Most diptanks have no been supplied with acricides from Nov to Jan[this is the most critical period for tick control].Cattle in resource limited communities keep dying in most districts.These contribute plus 60% of the herd.Sad and frustrating.

[Dr R2M @vetinchief]

@RexMidzi @begottensun Billy is just the Frontman for Black Zvigananda in this https://t.co/sxtl6dpM0D thing villagers in that part of the Dande area are going to be his next victims.All his shenanigans are aided by the Black government.From Aspindale to spring farms in Mash East.

[Dr R2M @vetinchief]

@begottensun Changing chemicals frequently will not help in acaricide resistance[AR].Best approach is to detect it first followed by switching to a more effective product.If changing weekly[as in one video] was helpful,manufacturers would now be combining 2 or more acaricide classes in one.

[Dr R2M @vetinchief]

@jahman_adamski @VarYemutonaz Over 70 % ofproducers keep mombe for plus 15months. fatten for 90 days to get super.Abbattoir gives under 4USD per kg(5th quarter votora hanzi slaughter cost).They slaughter,put in cold room and in 24hrs its in shops at plus 9USD.Check the actors & why you suddenly do not know.

@BevestZM @daddyhope Then vakutengesa avo vanhu sevamwe.Havasi kudzirima vakutora ku SA/Namibia at price X vizotengesa @(X+y).People should batana voita collective buying at X price from sources. genetics dzikudiwa idzo and hadzitorimo dzokwana.Production models in commercial systems akaedzwa aripo.

[Dr R2M @vetinchief]

@BevestZM @daddyhope This is whats happening ku beef.Recently a bull was sold for 40K plus and vanhu havaiti anger because the beef cartel ine vanhu vamwe vaya.Super ikanzi 3.80 hapana anochema.Vanhu vari muma value chains know maths dzavo dzoita vaite thrive.Zviri kwese but toita punch selectively

[Dr R2M @vetinchief]

@BevestZM @daddyhope its the most open value chain for now with hardly any(silent) impediments.Whats just need to be done is to work together in a win win situation.Boer goat re 500USD iro rinoita service 40 to 60 goats per year.A village vanhu vane 5 mbudzi should batana vari 10 @ 50 each zvofamba.
