Mini-thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the degree B.A. Honours in the History at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 1998. / This paper seeks specifically to analyse the history of the people who were forcibly removed from the present day Richards Bay (previously called Mhlathuze Lagoon.) to the arid land of Ntambanana. The Paper will concentrate on the experience endured by these people' during this unfortunate episode. The experience entailed difficulties, deaths, hunger, resistance and even in some cases willingness or happiness, homelessness etc. It is also interesting to indicate that the Group Areas Act, which strongly manifested itself through force removal was forcefully implemented in moving the original inhabitants of Richards Bay.

The objective of these studies was to determine the effects of forage fiber, social hierarchy, and stocking density on stress in lactating cows during relocation to new dairy facilities. In experiment one, 23 lactating cows were fed a basal ration, or the basal ration plus grass or alfalfa hay at 10% of DM offered from 3 wk pre-move to 9 wk post-move. In experiment two, 17 lactating cows were housed together before and after relocation and evaluated for dominance rank. In experiment three, 44 cows were housed together before relocation, then in pens of varying stocking density (0.67, 0.83, 1.0, or 1.17 cows per stall) post-move. In these studies, the effects of treatment on MY, lameness, behaviors, plasma cortisol, cow cleanliness, and DMI were monitored. In experiment one, cows fed grass or alfalfa hay diets had higher plasma cortisol concentrations on the day of relocation than cows fed TMR, but there were no differences in DMI or MY. Cows fed alfalfa hay or TMR had increased lameness scores following relocation; cows fed grass hay did not have increased lameness scores. In experiment two, there were no differences in plasma cortisol or lameness scores between dominant and subordinate cows. Subordinate cows had lower MY following relocation compared to dominant cows. In experiment three, cows housed at a stocking rate of 1.17 had higher plasma cortisol than cows housed at a stocking rate of 0.67. All cows had higher lameness scores following relocation, but cows housed at a stocking rate of 0.67 tended to have higher lameness scores than cows housed at stocking rates of 0.83, 1.0, and 1.17. In summary, some management practices may decrease the negative effects of stress on lactating cows during relocation. / Master of Science
