Welcome to the website of the Southern African Poultry Association (SAPA)

Baie welkom by die webblad van die Suider-Afrikaanse Pluimveevereniging (SAPV)


Evolution becomes necessary at times hence we are bringing you our new look website. Having started out in 1904, SAPA is a fully-fledged commercial representative body that aims to advance all matters leading towards the improvement of the poultry and allied industries in South Africa. We now represent the single largest component (by turnover) of the agricultural sector in South Africa. The consumer loves chicken and I hope you will love the website as well!

Verandering is soms noodsaaklik en derhalwe bied ons die “nuwe” webblad aan u. SAPA, wat in 1904 ontstaan het, is ‘n volwaardige  kommersiële liggaam wat dit ten doel het om alle aangeleenthede wat tot die groei van die pluimveebedryf en verwante nywerhede kan lei, te bevorder. Ons verteenwoordig nou die enkele grootste komponent (i.t.v. omset) van die landbousektor in Suid Afrika. Die verbruikers is versot op hoendervleis en ek vertrou dat u die webblad net so sal geniet!

More chicken meat and eggs are consumed per capita than all other animal protein sources combined. Long may it stay so.

Meer pluimveevleis en eiers word per kapita verbruik as al die ander diere proteïene gesamentlik. Mag dit nog lank so bly.

We aim to provide you with the information you need through the website.  Some of the information is available to members only. If you are not a member of SAPA and need additional information, please contact us.

Ons doel is om u te voorsien van inligting wat u benodig deur ons webblad. Sommige van die inligting is beskikbaar vir lede alleenlik. Indien u nie ‘n lid van SAPV is nie en addisionele inligting benodig, kontak ons gerus.

SAPA supports responsible production of chickens and eggs.

SAPV ondersteun verantwoordelike produksie van pluimveevleis en eiers.

All members of SAPA have to sign their acceptance of SAPA’s Code of Practice in order to be in good standing. This Code of Practice covers a range of requirements, including animal welfare, animal health and food safety. Our welfare, health and food safety standards are set in a consultative process with those organisations or Government departments that can contribute meaningfully, and especially the Code takes cognisance of relevant Acts and associated Regulations. The standards in the Code are minimum standards to be adhered to, and preferably exceeded. We believe that not only do Consumers love our chicken meat and egg products, but we love our birds as well.

Alle lede van die SAPV moet hulle goedkeuring bevestig deur die SAPV Bedryfskode te teken. Hierdie Bedryfskode dek ‘n reeks van vereistes, insluitende dierewelsyn, dieregesondheid en en voedselveiligheid. Ons dierewelsyn, dieregesondheid en en voedselveiligheid  is opgestel in konsultasie met die organisasies en regeringsdepartemente wat betekenisvolle bydrae kan lewer, neem kennis van ter sake Wette en verbandhoudende regulasies. Dit verteenwoordig of verkieslik verbeter die minimum aanvaarbare standaarde van welsyn. Ons glo dat nie net alleen die verbruiker ons produkte geniet nie, maar ons gee ook om vir ons hoenders.
