Piglets are allowed to move safely to and from the sow in farrowing pens.

Macrate ndi u vhulunga hu hulwane kha bulasi ḽa dzi nguluvhe. Dza tsadzi dzi ya ya dzula hone u swika dzi tshi beba dzo no hulisa vhana u swika vhana vha na maḓuvha a 21 u swika kha 28. U sokou tshimbila tshimbila ha ya tsadzi hu ya vha ho iledziwa, ngeno zwiguluzwana zwi tshi kona u tshimbila uya phanḓa na murahu.
Uya nga vha mutakalo wa nguluvhe SAPPO, ya tsadzi i fanela u iswa ho sala maḓuvha asumbe uri iyo beba nahone i fanela u u sadzulesa ya fhedza vhege dza rathi nga ngomu.

In the absence of farrowing pens, sows should have enough space to protect the piglets from other pigs.

Vhathu vha zwa zwifuwo vha nga amba uri hezwi ndi tshiṱuhu, fhedzi ngoho ndi ya uri u vhea tshifuwo hafhaḽa zwi ya thusa kha mutakalo wa tshifuwo ngau tshi fha na mufhiso wotshi linganaho na u tsireledza uri isa wele vhana na u ri isa vhaisale.
Nga nnḓa ha hezwi zwi ya tsireledza zwiguluzwana na kha malwadze na zwilumi, sa vhunga hune dza vha dzi hone hu tshi vha ho kulumagiwa musi ya tsadzi i sathu iswa. Kha dzinwe nyimelo ya tsadzi iya ṱanziwa na u ṱanzwiwa ya bviswa na maṋowana oṱhe isa thu iswa kha dzi crates.
U tshi nga engedza, macrate a thusa vhorabulasi kha u thusa ya tsadzi musi i tshi kho beba, na u lavhelelsa zwiḽiwa na maḓi na mutakalo wayo na wa nwana. Hezwi ndi zwa ndeme vhukuma, ngauri 65% ya zwiguluzwana zwi ya vha na vhuthada zwi tshi fhedza u bebiwa.

Good design and good hygiene helps to prevent problems in farrowing crates.

Uya nga vha, Farming Truth, zwine zwa vha zwavhuḓi, zwi kunda zwivhi, hune zwa u vhea kha macrate hu sa tou vha zwithu zwo ḓoweleyaho Afrika Tshipembe, fhedzi na United Kingdom, Europe na United States. Zwine zwa sa vhe zwa vhuḓi ndi u ḓura, ngauri macrate aya ḓura aya ṱoḓa u kulumagiwa na u ḓura ha muḓagasi. Mutakalo wo khwinisiwaho wa zwifuwo na u lalwa zwavhuḓi zwi ya thusa kha hezwi.
Zwinwe zwine zwa sa vhe zwavhuḓi hu nga vha u vhaisala na mutakalo unga vha usi wavhuḓi, nga maanḓa zwilonda kha milenzhe na vhubva arali zwi songo itwa zwavhuḓi. Uya nga vha mutakalo wa nguluvhe, tshifhaṱo tshi fanela u tendela uri i tshimbile lwa mupo na kuiitele kwa yo kwa mvelo. Dza tsadzi dzi fanela u kona lala fhasi dzi kone u ima nga milenzhe. Nga murahu ha crate ahu faneli u kwama crate, kana nga matungo ayo ha kwama crate.

Nga Nnḓa

Farrowing pens reduces the risk of sows rolling over their young.

Macrate afanela u vhewa nnḓa hu sini nga ngomu. Kha ḽa America dzi ya kona u ḓi palela hune vhafuwi vhanzhi vha dzi vhea kha macrate musi hu tshifhinga tsha u fhisa. Vha ya kona u shandukisa macrate uya kha pfulo u thivhela na u nga takuwa ha zwilumi na malwadze.
Vhafuwi vha Afrika Tshipembe vha fanela u ita hezwi fhethu hune na vhusiku ha hone vhu ya fhisa uri zwiguluzwana zwi kone u tshila, zwi ya kona u tshila kha fhethu hune ha vha hu tshi khou fhisa 27 - 32 degrees celsius. Holu lushaka lwa u bveledza alu koni musi hu tshi khou rothola kha ya tsadzi, hune ya tsadzi uri ibve mafhi na u kona u bveledza zwavhuḓi i fanela uvha i fhethu hune mufhiso a u fhiri 21 degrees celsius.
Zwino zwa u dzi vhea nga ngomu zwi ya thusa arali hu tshi dudedziwa na fhasi hune ha fhisa.
Huna zwithu zwinzhi zwine wa nga ita zwine zwa vha hone unga vhudzisa vhaḓivhi vha zwifuwo vhuponi hahaṋu uri vha tsivhudze uita tshivhumbeo tshine tsha nga fanela hune wa khou bveledza hone.
