REDISCOVER ANIMAL CARE
At animal solutions the emphasis
is on product, technical services
and training. Due to our
long-standing relationships with
the most acknowledged suppliers
in the animal value chain, we are
able to offer the right product at
the right time at affordable prices
via our established network of
retail outlets. The relationship
that Hinterland has with the larg-
est suppliers of animal feed and
animal health remedies stretches
over decades in many instances.
For this reason we are proud of
the product offering which we
have available for the producer
and continuously investigate new
products and technology to ensure
that our producers remain at the
forefront of their industry.
Our technical services include
herd management programmes
such as health programmes, feed
flow planning, the formulation of
rations, production input costs, as
well as selection and breeding pro-
grammes. We are involved with
existing study groups and farmers’
unions, which are used as
platforms for the com-
munication of the latest industry
trends. We also host information
days for this purpose.
We place a high premium
on training. Not only internal
training to ensure that our staff
are informed of the latest trends
and products in the market, but
we also believe in the value which
external training adds. For this
reason we offer training for farm
workers and will shortly be doing
slaughter-ox selection training as
well, in which we would like to
involve farmers from the stud and
commercial industry as well.
Hinterland is proud to be the
principal sponsor of the National
Inter-breed Championships in
Parys during @ALFA, where the
country’s national male
and female inter-
breed champion
animals will be
selected.
Phillip Lee is the animal
production solutions man-
ager at Hinterland. Contact him on
