249 animals die at experimental farming facilities in Eastern Cape.

DA MPL Retief Odendaal said that, in response to a parliamentary question, Meth confirmed that 249 animals across the facilities had died in the last financial year.

“Whilst this does not necessarily mean livestock are subjected to mistreatment in any way, as one could reasonably expect losses in any farming operation, the excessive number of animals that have perished raises serious concerns about the management of these experimental farms. He said he had requested the portfolio committee to demand urgent reports on the operations at these experimental farms, with specific emphasis on the management of livestock at the facilities.
