He said a total of about 1,100 cattle, 1,150 goats and 1,300 sheep were managed at the Dohne ADI facility and its five satellite stations ."A total of 31 cattle, 70 sheep and 140 goats died [or had to be put down for humane reasons on veterinarian instructions] during the period April 1 2018 to March 31 2019," said Lungisa.
"Fifteen goats died at the Adelaide Research Station and most [10] were ascribed to heart water, and birth complications accounted for two mortalities." He said the counting and checking of livestock was done by general assistants under the direct supervision of technicians.
