Piglets are allowed to move safely to and from the sow in farrowing pens.
Mabokoso a madinyane a dikolobe a fapaneng ke a mang a dichelete tse ntle ka ho fetisisa tseo mohomi wa dikolobe a ka di etsang. Tse tshehadi di iswa mabokosong ana hoo e ka bang beke pele ho madinyane ebe di bolokilwe moo ho fihlela madinyane a tsona a tloswa letsweleng ka matsatsi a 21 ho isa ho a 28. Tsamaiso ya tse tshehadi e thibetswe sebakeng se le seng sa kgalase, ha madinyane a kgona ho fallela ka bolokolohi ho tloha ho tse tsehadi le ho tswa sebakeng se welang.
Ho ya ka Khoutu ya Boiphediso ya South African Pork Producers Organisation (SAPPO), tse tshehadi di ka nna tsa se ke tsa iswa mabokoseng matsatsi a supileng ho feta pele ho letsatsi la tsona ebe ha hwa lokela ho di boloka moo ka nako e telele ho feta dibeke tse tsheletseng ka mora madinyane.

In the absence of farrowing pens, sows should have enough space to protect the piglets from other pigs.
Bahlasedi ba diphoofolo ba ka nna ba pheha kgang ya hore sena ke mokgwa o sehloho, empa nnete ke hore mabokoso a madinyane a dikolobe a thusa ho ntlafatsa boiketlo ba diphoofolo ka ho etsa bonnete ba mocheso o nepahetseng bakeng sa madinyane le e tshehadi le ho thibela e tshehadi ho phalla kapa ho phalla hodima bana ba yona.
Ntle ho sena, e sireletsa dikolobe tse nyane ho mafu le dikokwana-hloko, kaha dipene tse fokolang di hlwekiswa le ho hlwekiswa pele tse tshehadi di kenngwa ho tsona. Mekgweng e mengata tse tshehadi dia hlatswa hape di silafatswa pele di fetisetswa dikotong tsena.
Ho phaella moo, mabokoso ana a dumella dihwai hore di ntlafatse tse tshehadi haholo nakong ya bokgachane le ho hlahloba hantle ho fepa, ho nwa metsi le bophelo ba tse tshehadi le madinyane ka bobedi. Sena ke sa bohlokwa haholo, kaha ho fihlela ho 65% ya tsohle tse bolayang dikolobe di etsahala bekeng ya pele ka mora tswalo.

Good design and good hygiene helps to prevent problems in farrowing crates.
Ho ya ka websaeteng ya, Farming Truth, e ntle “e feta e mpe” ka mabokoso a madinyane a dikolobe e seng feela tlwaelo ya temo Afrika Borwa, empa hape le United Kingdom, Europe le United States. Ntho e ka sehloohong e se nang thuso ke ditshenyehelo, kaha dikhamphani di theko e tlaase ho qala le tsona mme di tla eketsa ditshenyehelo tsa ho hlwekisa le tsa motlakase. Ho ntlafatsa boiketlo ba diphoofolo, ho fokotseha ha batho ba fokolang le kgolo e ntlafetseng, leha ho le jwalo, e etsa sena ka nako e telele.
Mathata a mang ke hore a ka baka dikotsi le mathata a bophelo bo botle, jwalo ka diso tsa maoto esita le bohloki, haeba e sa etswa kapa e hlwekisitswe hantle. Ho ya ka Melao ya Boiphediso, dipene di lokela ho dumella moetlo le tlhaho ya dikolobe. Ka lebaka leo, tse tshehadi, di lokela ho robala le ho ema ntle ho dithibelo tse itseng maotong a tsona. Morao wa e tshehadi ha o wa lokela ho ama mokwalo o ka hodimo wa kgalase, kapa mahlakoreng a yona a se ke a kopana ka nako e le nngwe le mahlakoreng ka bobedi a dikarolwana.

Farrowing pens reduces the risk of sows rolling over their young.
Mabokoso a madinyane a dikolobe ha a lokela ho bolokwa ka tlung. Naheng ya Amerika ho na le dihwai tse fapaneng tse atlehang ho sebedisa dikotlolo tse nang le makgulo a dikgutlong nakong ya dikgwedi tse futhumetseng tsa selemo. Di fetola dikarolo tse hodima makgulo ho thibela ho aha malwetse kapa dikokwana-hloko maemong a kgethehileng.
Dihwai tsa Afrika Borwa di lokela ho leka feela dibakeng tseo mocheso wa bosiu o futhumetseng ka ho lekaneng ho boloka dikolobe tsena tse atlehang ka dikgato tse 27 ho ya ho tse 32 tsa Celsius. Mofuta ona wa tlhahiso o ke ke wa hlokomelwa ke mocheso o phodileng o hlokahalang ke tse tshehadi, tseo tlhahiso ya tsona ya phepo le lebese e amehang hampe mocheso o phahameng ho feta dikgato tse 21 tsa Celsius.
Mekgweng ya ka tlung, phephetso ena e hlolwa ka ho futhumatsa sebaka le ho futhumatsa sebakeng se futhumatsang, ha sebaka sa e tshehadi se na le setulo se phodileng.
Mekgwa le mehaho e sa tshwaneng e ya fumaneha, botsa setsebi sa bophelo bo botle ba diphoofolo bakeng sa keletso mabapi le mohaho o neng o tla ba o loketseng haholo bakeng sa ditlhoko tsa hao tsa tlhahiso.
