Animal scientists at North West University say twin births among cattle are becoming more prevalent. According to the experts, the phenomenon which currently occurs in one in 200 cattle can be attributed to environmental and nutritional factors.

Animal scientist at the university, Professor Paul Lubout says, “The natural occurrence is somewhere between 1½%. So it’s one out of 200 hundred animals. So it’s very low, but in dairy breeds is a bit higher and then also as our environment improves, as our local community looks after their animals better and their nutrition is better we can expect to see more of them.”He says, “It is the second time this has happened with this cow.

”Doctor Boipuso Alpheus Pico of the Animal Science Group in the North West says, “In terms of our indigenous knowledge, culturally, normally if that happens because it is a very rare phenomenon, you would give all that to your uncle. Your uncle has to come and take that animal.”“Remember the twining where there is a female and male, the other one is infertile.
