Voermol provides livestock producers with a wide range of practical products designed to overcome pasture scarcity and maximize herd productivity, including high-efficiency seasonal blocks and economical mixed concentrates.
Farmer Teboko Khlanguza from Heidelberg shares his experience using Voermol SB 100 (V4498) in combination with various additives to ensure optimal body condition and accelerate herd growth.
A key factor for achieving consistently high profits from a herd is reliable and highly palatable nutrition that allows animals to thrive. As South Africa's leading enterprise in developing molasses-based ruminant feed, Voermol supplies the necessary energy, protein, minerals, and vitamins to maintain animal health and performance throughout the season.
Whether conditioning a breeding bull or protecting pregnant cows during an unpredictable winter, Voermol ensures that livestock maintains critical weight when alternative pastures become unavailable.
Teboko Khlanguza, a cattle farmer from the Heidelberg area in Gauteng, understands the challenges of managing livestock in difficult environmental conditions. Working on communal lands requires accounting for unpredictable seasonal factors, which dictates the need for a highly strategic approach to supplementary feeding to protect investments.
For Khlanguza, the Voermol product line has become a vital safeguard against sudden pasture loss and maintaining a consistent production standard. He explains: 'The products I am currently using are SB 100 for my bull, and I also use molasses syrup.' He adds that sometimes he feeds them separately as direct supplements, and at other times he prepares his own mix, including other nutrients such as whole corn and hay, which helps save money without compromising feed quality.
This targeted feeding strategy demonstrates its effectiveness most clearly during the toughest months of the year. Khlanguza notes: 'To be precise about Voermol products, they have helped me maintain the weight and condition of my livestock even during the winter.' He emphasizes that because he farms on communal lands, pastures often burn out, making it crucial to use supplemental feed during such periods to maintain body condition.
He concludes that he currently has about eight cows expecting calves, four of which are young stock, and that this feed is clearly increasing productivity.
