MET die ernstige en steeds groeiende tekort aan veeartse in Suid-Afrika is die kanse baie goed dat \u2019n veeartsenydienste fakulteit binnekort in die Oos-Kaap aan die Fort Hare-universiteit gevestig sal word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senzeni Zokwana, Minister van landbou, bosbou en visserye, het vandeesweek Fort Hare besoek om homself op hoogte te bring oor die moontlikheid van so \u2019n stap,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tydens die besoek het hy ges\u00ea die departement is deeglik bewus van die ernstige tekort aan veeartse in die land.\u201cHierdie tekort is veral opmerkbaar in staatsveeartsenydienste en navorsing. Die voedsel en landbouorganisasie se standaard beveel aan dat daar een (1) veearts per 100 000 vee-eenhede moet wees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie Suid-Afrikaanse syfers tans toon daar is slegs een veearts per 300 000 vee-eenhede, wat baie ver tekortskiet van die standaard wat aanbeveel word,\u201d aldus Zokwana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHierbenewens bly die swak versprei-ding van professionele veeartse \u2019n sleutel-uitdaging vir veral die landelike provinsies in die Suid-Afrikaanse landboube-dryf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTerwyl die landelike provinsies toegang tot \u2019n verskeidenheid veaartseny- dienste benodig om diereproduksie en veehandel te ondersteun, bly die onbeskikbaarheid van veeartse, die onbekombaarheid, onbereikbaarheid en bekostigbaarheid van dieregesondheidsdienste \u2019n baie groot probleem,\u201d het Zokwana ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het ges\u00ea die implementering van die prim\u00eare dieregesondheidsprogram het gelei tot die verspreiding van mobiele veeartsenyklinieke en ondersteuningsvoertuie regdeur die land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHierdie voertuie is ten volle toegerus om prim\u00eare dienste wat in ons gemeenskappe benodig word, te lewer, insluitende die sterilisering van honde. Ons is trots daarop dat ons dienste kan lewer wat nie moontlik sou wees sonder hierdie mobiele klinieke nie,\u201d aldus Zokwane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar bestaan egter \u2019n groot behoefte aan meer veeartse in die land. Die universiteit van Fort Hare het die departement genader vir bystand en ondersteuning met die vestiging van \u2019n tweede fakulteit in SA en dis om daardie rede dat ek vandag hier is. Dit moet egter onthou word dat die uit-eindelike aanbeveling by die departement van ho\u00ebr onderwys en opleiding l\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My rol is om die nodige advies rakende tegniese aspekte te gee, aangesien veeartseny-wetenskap by die departement van landbou, bosbou en visserye berus,\u201d aldus Zokwane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs gevolg van my besoek vandag, en te-rugvoer van die tegniese span in my departement rakende die gereedheid en be-kwaamheid van die universiteit om \u2019n veeartsenydienste-wetenskapsfakulteit te akkom-modeer, sal dit vir my moontlik wees om die nodige aanbeveling aan die department van ho\u00ebr onderwys en opleiding te maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk sal ook die voorstel met die Suid-Afrikaanse veeartsenyraad bespreek,\u201d het Zokwane ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
