Ons Dienste

Die produksiekapasiteit van Christiana Beef laat tans toe dat Kontrakvoerders geakkommodeer kan word om hul eie aanteel of aankoop van speenkalwers of uitskot teeldiere met ons produksieproses af te rond. Hierdie diens gee boere die geleentheid om ‘n addisionele opbrengs op dieselfde dier te verdien en deel te neem aan ‘n verlengde waardeketting sonder die geleentheidsrisiko van die produksieproses of die koste en beskikbaarheid van al die produksiefasiliteite wat met sodanige proses gepaardgaan nie.

Our Services

The production capacity of Christiana Beef currently allows for Contract Feeders to be accommodated to finish their own bred or purchased weaner calves or cull breeding stock within our production process. This service affords farmers the opportunity to earn an additional return on the same animal and to participate in an extended value chain. This is additional value without bearing the opportunity risk of the production process or incurring the costs associated with the availability of all the production facilities required for such a process.

Doeltreffende voerfasiliteite en effektiewe voedingsbestuur

Christiana Beef beskik oor doeltreffende en moderne fasiliteite en toerusting wat ons in staat stel om die produksieproses effektief uit te voer. Christiana Beef is naby uitgebreide besproeiingsgebied geleë wat die beskikbaarheid van voer koste-effektief maak. Ons is toegerus met toerusting om die voer effektief te prosesseer en te vermeng om maksimum vertering en inname en dus produksieprestasie te verseker.
Voer is die belangrikste kostefaktor in die voerkraalproduksieproses. Daar word deurgaans van ‘n professionele dierevoedingskundige gebruik gemaak om voere te formuleer. Die formulering van voere word weekliks gemonitor. Verskillende roumateriale met varierende koste is seisoenaal beskikbaar wat gedurige herformulasie benodig om die goedkoopste voere te meng. In die produksieproses ondergaan diere deur verskillende groeifases waarby die formulasie aangepas moet word.

Efficient feed dacilities and effective nutritional mana

Christiana Beef has efficient and modern facilities and equipment that enable us to carry out the production process effectively. Christiana Beef is situated near an extensive irrigation area, which makes the availability of feed cost-effective. We are equipped with machinery to process and mix feed effectively in order to ensure maximum digestion and intake, and therefore production performance.
Feed is the most important cost factor in the feedlot production process. A professional animal nutritionist is consistently utilised to formulate feeds. Feed formulation is monitored on a weekly basis. Various raw materials with varying costs are available seasonally, which requires ongoing reformulation in order to mix the most cost-effective feeds. During the production process, animals go through different growth phases, during which the formulation must be adjusted accordingly.

Gesondheidsbestuur/Health management

Die voerkraal sorg ook dat die gesondheid van diere optimaal gehandhaaf word met voorkomende inenting en behandelingprosedure asook daaglikse waarneming van siek diere om vroegtydige behandeling toe te pas. Daar word van professionele veeartsenykundigheid gebruik gemaak.


The feedlot also ensures that the health of animals is optimally maintained with preventive vaccination and treatment procedures as well as daily observation of sick animals to apply early treatment. Professional veterinary expertise is used.

Kontrakvoer kostes

Dit is vir Christiana Beef belangrik dat elke Kontrakvoerder maksimum wins uit die produksieproses moet kan maak. Daar is verskillende faktore wat die wins bepaal met elke faktor wat meer of minder interne en dus beheerbare bestuursprosesse of deur eksterne en dus onbeheerbare gewoonlik markkragte, soos pryse, bepaal word. Christiana Beef se belangrikste fokus is die beste en kostedoeltreffende voedings- en gesondheidsbestuur.
Die maksimum wins word bereik as die volle biologiese groeipotensiaal van die diere bereik kan word. Die koste van produksie vir die Kontrakvoerder word bereken as ‘n persentasie van die al die produksiekostes wat vir die kliënt deur Christiana Beef aangegaan word. Hierdie koste word deur die skaal van ekonomie asook vaardigheid (kennis en ondervinding) end us doeltreffendheid van Christiana Beef tot ‘n minimum en dus ‘n hoogs bekostigbare vlak vir die Kontrakvoerder gebring.

Contract feeding costs

It is important to Christiana Beef that every Contract Feeder is able to derive maximum profit from the production process. There are various factors that determine profit, with each factor being influenced to a greater or lesser extent by internal and therefore controllable management processes, or by external and therefore uncontrollable forces — usually market forces such as prices. Christiana Beef's primary focus is the best and most cost-effective nutritional and health management.
Maximum profit is achieved when the full biological growth potential of the animals can be realised. The cost of production for the Contract Feeder is calculated as a percentage of all production costs incurred on behalf of the client by Christiana Beef. These costs are reduced to a minimum and therefore to a highly affordable level for the Contract Feeder through Christiana Beef's economies of scale as well as expertise (knowledge and experience) and thus efficiency.
