slaughter ages https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10735 0.05) with respect to gender for slaughter weight, skin surface area and dry skin grade within the different age groups. Males had significantly higher (P< 0.05) cold carcass yield and total feather yield than their female counterparts. From this study it can be concluded that an increase in slaughter age significantly increases feed intake, slaughter weight, cold carcass yield, and skin surface area. It is also clear that an increase in slaughter age can be detrimental to dry skin grade. The relative income contribution of the three main products (skin: meat: feathers) occurred in a ratio of 47:53:0, 52:47:1, 47:50:3, 44:51:5, 39:56:5 at the respective slaughter ages. Total income revealed an increase of 26 percent from 8.5 to 10.5 months slaughtering, an increase of 4 percent between 10.5 and 12.5 months, and an increase of 11 percent between 12.5 and 14.5 months. The income dropped by 0.3 percent between 14.5 and 16.5 months slaughtering. Total costs increased with slaughter age, particularly feed costs which showed an increase (at a decreasing rate) between the different slaughter ages. The margin above specified cost per bird was the highest for birds slaughtered at the age of 10.5 months. The margin above cost showed a steady decline as birds were slaughtered at higher ages. Slaughtering at 16.5 months revealed a negative margin. To compare the effect of differences in time span on different slaughter age regimes, margin above costs for each system over 5 years were discounted to a present value. In this study, with current feed costs and income from end products, slaughtering at 10.5 months revealed the highest present value for the margin above cost. Furthermore, slaughtering at 16.5 months revealed a negative present value on the margin above cost after 5 years. Financial viability calculations are relevant and valid for data obtained in this case study. Financial viability is however case-specific and may vary between producers, depending on their individual management practices, production systems and cost structures. Results from this study may be of significant value to managerial decision-making in the ostrich industry.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 07:06:26 SAST ]]> Communication strategies in management: a case study of interpersonal manager-staff communication at a South African university https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1452 Thu 13 May 2021 07:05:04 SAST ]]> Nutrient dynamics in and offshore of two permanently open South African estuaries with contrasting fresh water inflow https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5735 Thu 13 May 2021 07:03:09 SAST ]]> Registered nurses' knowledge related to the management of patients with diabetic keto-acidosis (DKA) https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10046 Thu 13 May 2021 06:54:08 SAST ]]> A qualitative bias review of the adaptation of the WAIS-III for English-speaking South Africans https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:9939 Thu 13 May 2021 06:46:10 SAST ]]> An analysis of development strategies aimed at meeting employment equity objectives within Medscheme https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:8554 Thu 13 May 2021 06:42:42 SAST ]]> The extent to which review for unreasonableness is meaningfully incorporated in the promotion of Administrative Justice Act no. 3 of 2000 https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3707 Thu 13 May 2021 06:39:19 SAST ]]> The coping orientation and resources of teachers educating learners with intellectual disabilities https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:9938 Thu 13 May 2021 06:39:18 SAST ]]> An evaluation of a performance management and development system with reference to the Department of the Premier, Provincial Government Western Cape https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:8251 Thu 13 May 2021 06:38:37 SAST ]]> A study of fuzzy sets and systems with applications to group theory and decision making https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5417 Thu 13 May 2021 06:30:47 SAST ]]> Implementing lean manufacturing to improve production efficiency in the manufacturing operations at the Aspen General facility https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:8557 Thu 13 May 2021 06:20:09 SAST ]]> An investigation into how Johnnic Communications can maximise its online presence and e-commerce potential https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:8578 Thu 13 May 2021 06:17:55 SAST ]]> Changes in the anthropometric, physical and motor characteristics of elite soccer players aged 15 to 18 years within a training year https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10100 Thu 13 May 2021 06:02:29 SAST ]]> Eksperiment en intertekstualiteit: 'n studie van Ingrid Winterbach se Niggie (2002) en die oorlogsdagboek van Jan F.E.

grunter, Pomadasys commersonnii (Haemulidae), in a highly turbid South African estuary https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5304 450 mm TL) occupied larger home ranges (mean size = 218 435 m²) with numerous core areas. The home ranges of small and large spotted grunter overlapped considerably yielding evidence of two high use areas, situated 1.2 km and 7 km from the mouth of the Great Fish Estuary. Tagged spotted grunter were located in a wide range of salinity, turbidity and temperature, but were found to avoid temperatures below 16 ºC. The daily change in environmental variables (salinity, temperature and turbidity) had a significant effect on the change in fish position in the estuary (p < 0.0001; R² = 0.38). The distribution of tagged spotted grunter, particularly the larger individuals, in the Great Fish Estuary was influenced by the tidal phase (p < 0.05); they moved upriver on the incoming tide and downriver on the outgoing tide. This study provides an understanding of the movement patterns of spotted grunter in the estuary and between the estuarine and marine environments. Consequently, it provides information that will assist in the design of a management plan to promote sustainability of this important fishery species. The techniques used and developed in this study also have direct application for further studies on other important estuarinedependent fishery species.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 00:10:25 SAST ]]> Competing interests and change within the pharmacy education system in South Africa https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3741 Thu 06 Jul 2023 19:30:07 SAST ]]> Explaining South Africa's quiet diplomacy towards Zimbabwe since 2000: the dilemma of a pluralist middle power https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2777 Thu 01 Feb 2024 09:53:23 SAST ]]> From 'here and now' to there and then : the evaluation of the effectiveness of Ehlers and Clark's model for treating PTSD in a rape survivor https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2961 Mon 17 Jan 2022 13:19:19 SAST ]]> An appraisal of the impact of the Fast Track Land Reform Programme on land use practices, livelihoods and the natural environment at three study areas in Kadoma District, Zimbabwe https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4815 Fri 27 Aug 2021 09:43:48 SAST ]]> An investigation into the validity of life tables used for the calculation of personal injury damages https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1077 Fri 21 Jan 2022 09:42:43 SAST ]]> Voltammetric analysis of pesticides and their degradation: A case study of Amitraz and its degradants https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4131 Fri 10 Dec 2021 08:54:22 SAST ]]>
