|
|
"Hierdie boek is die eerste omvattende werk oor die afgelope
negentig jaar wat die historiese
en kulturele aspekte van die geskiedenis van ons eie Suid-Afrikaanse
perd, die Boerperd,
boekstaaf. In dr. Du Toit se boek kom die Boerperd se wonderlike
eienskappe van gehardheid,
selfsorgsaamheid, gedienstigheid, betroubaarheid en veelsydigheid
tot uiting."
- Dr Frans van der Merwe, Voormalige D-G: Departement Landbou
" Mens kan nie help om be"ndruk te word deur die ingrypende rol wat
"n plaasdier in the geskiedenis van ons land en sy mense gespeel het
nie en hoe honderde duisende van hierdie edel diere in die proses
die hoogste prys betaal het. Nogtans het die Boerperd nie sy
lojaliteit en
liefde vir die mens verloor nie en bly die ras een van die mees
veelsydigste en hanteerbaarste van alle perderasse. Ek kan hierdie
boek sonder enige voorbehoud aan almal aanbeveel." - Oom

op oorspronklike, moeiliktoeganklike
materiaal te make wat so aangebied word dat dit omvattende, uiters
waardevolle inligting aan die leser bied. Die verskillende hoeke
waaruit dr. Du Toit die Suid-Afrikaanse perd toelig en die
hoeveelheid oorspronklike materiaal wat hy benut om dit te vermag,
is waarlik verstommend."

Technical Guidelines for the Responsible and Prudent Use of
Antimicrobials in Veterinary Medicine in South Africa (2002)
|
|
Antimicrobials are highly effective tools used to control and
treat infectious or contagious diseases caused by microorganisms in
humans and animals. Their use in veterinary practice helps to ensure
the health and well being of livestock and companion animals.
However, the use in animals can lead to selection of resistant forms
of bacteria, which may compromise human health if resistant bacteria
are then transferred to humans via the food chain or environment.
The continued use of antimicrobials in veterinary practice therefore
depends upon the profession"s ability to use these products
judiciously and find a balance between maximising animal production
and conserving antimicrobial efficacy. This publication outlines the
general guidelines for the prudent use of antimicrobials in
veterinary medicine and presents important information needed for
the rational selection of antimicrobials for use in animals. |

Plant Poisonings and Mycotoxicoses of Livestock in Southern Africa
(1988) |
|
The wealth of information on plant poisonings and mycotoxicoses
of livestock accumulated over the past 50 years has been
collated here in a detailed reference work for veterinary
students, practitioners and research workers. The authors, in
fact, have been responsible for much of the research done on
plant and mycotoxin poisonings in South Africa in the last two
decades. They are therefore very well qualified for the
herculanean task they have executed so well.
