The Southern African Poultry Association (SAPA) is a representative organisation that seeks to promote and advance all matters that will lead towards the improvement of the poultry and all poultry-related industries in Southern Africa.

Die Suider-Afrikaanse Pluimvee Vereniging (SAPV) is ‘n verteenwoordigende organisasie, wat daarna streef om alle aspekte wat die pluimvee en pluimvee verwante bedrywe in Suider Afrika raak, te bevorder en te verbeter.

As the biggest single supplier of protein to the South African consumer and as the single largest component of the agricultural sector in South Africa by turnover, with more chicken meat and eggs consumed per capita than all other animal protein sources combined, the poultry industry is not just an important component of the food value chain , it is an essential one. It is not an exaggeration to see that the South African food security and the industry are closely intertwined.

As die grootste verskaffer van proteïen aan die Suid-Afrikaanse verbruiker, en as die grootste komponent, met betrekking tot omset van die landbousektor in Suid-Afrika, met meer hoendervleis en eiers per kapita verbruik as enige ander proteïenbron tesame, is die pluimveebedryf meer as net ‘n komponent van die voedselketting. Dit is dus nie oordrewe om te sê dat Suid-Afrikaanse voedselveiligheid en die pluimveebedryf nou saamgeweef is nie.

For an organisation that is over 108 years old, SAPA remains ahead of the curve when it comes to using the latest in technology and communication channels to engage with our members, other stakeholders and the world at large. This website represents an important element of our marketing mix. Here, the information provided covers every aspect of poultry, ranging from health and nutrition through to diseases control and the maintenance of standards.

Vir ‘n organisasie wat meer as 108 jaar oud is, bly die SAPV ‘n voorloper wanneer dit by die nuutste tegnologie en kommunikasiekanale kom, wanneer met lede, ander belanghebbendes en die wereld as geheel, geskakel word. Inligting voorsien op die webwerf, dek alle belangrike aspekte van pluimvee, vanaf gesondheid en heilsaamheid tot en met siektekontrolering en die handhawing van standaarde.

Through this site, we aim to provide you with the all the information you need on our association, its activities and publications, as well as  information on poultry  products. Our Code of Practice, binding on all SAPA members, is published here too.

Met hierdie webwerf, streef ons daarna om u te voorsien van alle informasie met betrekking tot ons vereniging, aktiwiteite en publikasies, asook informasie met betrekking tot pluimvee produkte. Ons bedryfskode, waartoe alle SAPV lede gebind is, word ook hier gepubliseer.

SAPA supports responsible production of chickens and eggs. In pursuit of this goal, all members of SAPA have to sign their acceptance of SAPA’s Code of Practice in order to be in good standing. The Code, which takes cognisance of the relevant Acts and associated regulations, covers a range of requirements, including animal welfare, animal health and food safety. These standards are set in a consultative process with those organisations or government departments that can contribute meaningfully.

Die SAPV ondersteun verantwoordelike produksie van hoenders en eiers. In die nakoming van hierdie doel, moet alle SAPV lede die SAPV Bedryfskode onderteken as aanvaarding en as bewys van goeie standaarde. Die kode, wat alle relevante wette en verwante regulasies in ag neem, dek ‘n reeks vereistes, wat dierewelsyn, dieregesondheid en voedselveiligheid insluit. Hierdie standaarde word saamgestel deur middel van ‘n konsultasieproses met die betrokke organisasies of staatsdepartemente wat betekenisvol kan bydra.

While some of the information is available to members only, if you are not a member of SAPA but need additional material, please contact us.

Alhoewel sommige informasie net aan lede beskikbaar is, kan nie-lede die SAPV kontak indien u addisionele materiaal benodig.

We stand by the belief that not only do consumers love our chicken meat and egg products; we love our birds as well. It is our hope that this website accurately conveys this sentiment.

Ons glo dat nie slegs verbruikers lief is vir ons hoenderprodukte nie, maar ons is ook lief vir ons hoenders en ons hoop dat hierdie webtuiste dit sal weerspieël.
