VELDBRANDE EN LEWENDEHAWE : VETERINÊRE RIGLYNE

/in /by

Veldbrande kan dikwels groot gebiede raak en honderde of duisende lewendehawe kan ernstig beseer word of hul lewens verloor.

Tydens die nadraai is spoedeisende en gepaste verstandige optrede noodsaaklik om beide verliese en dierelyding tot ‘n minimum te beperk. Diegene wat boere behulpsaam is en veeeienaars moet as ‘n span saamwerk om die beste uitkomste te behaal. Indien die betrokke gebied ‘n Rampbestuursplan en -span in plek het, is dit die beste manier om reaksies te koördineer.
Indien daar nie so ‘n plan is nie, behoort ‘n Rampbestuursplan vir die gebied ingestel te word vir toekomstige gebruik.

Plan and Team for the area, this should be the preferred way to co-ordinate responses.
If not, a Disaster Management Plan should be introduced for the area, for use in the future.

Earlier this year we reported about the Global Animal Welfare award of the World Veterinary Association (WVA) bestowed on Prof Gareth Bath, Emeritus Professor of the Faculty. The official award ceremony which was scheduled to take place earlier this year in New Zealand could not take place for obvious reasons.

However, during a recent webinar of the WVA on 29 October, the award ceremony was live streamed during which Prof Bath was officially acknowledged as one of the recipients of the Global Animal Welfare Awards in collaboration with CEVA Animal Health.

Congratulations to Prof Bath. We are proud of all your achievements.
