In modern facilities, young pigs are on plastic flooring to keep them warm.
Izindlu kufanele zifanisane nohlobo lwezingulube ofuna ukuzenza. Imikhuba engavumelekile iyakwazi ukubhekana nezimo ezinzima kakhulu zemvelo nezokukhiqiza kunezinhlobo ezithuthukisiwe, ngakho-ke ungase ukwazi ukuhamba nezindlu ezishibhile kunezihlobo ezithuthukisiwe.
Bangakwazi ukukhula emakhakheni aqinile noma aqinekile anezindlu zokuhlala, noma izikhala ezivulekile ezihlinzekela izindawo eziphahlamezekile nezivimbekile. Imikhiqizo ethuthukisiwe, noma kunjalo, izokwenza kangcono ngaphansi kwezinhlelo zokukhiqiza ezinamandla nakwezinye izindawo zokuzivikela, njengoba kungenziwa ngezindlu ezithile noma ezihlanganisiwe ngokuphelele.

Ukucabangela

A fenced camp with shelter.
Yize kungase kube nzima ukukwenza uma uqala ngezingulube ezimbalwa kuphela, kwenza umqondo wezomnotho ukuhlela nokuklama amayunithi okukhiqiza ukuze ukwandiswe kalula. Ukusetshenziswa kwesandla esilandelayo noma esakhiweni sakho nokwakha isakhiwo sakho kuzokusiza ukunciphisa izindleko, kodwa kungase kusebenze okubiza kakhulu ngokuhamba kwesikhathi njengoba kungase kungabi isikhathi eside njengento entsha.
Leli qembu kufanele liphinde likwazi ukukhiqiza ngendlela enokwenzeka ngangokunokwenzeka, ngokunethezeka kwezilwane, ukuphathwa kwemikhiqizo nokukhululeka kokuhlanza. Izansi zomhlaba zingase zamukeleke ezizalweni ezingavunyelwe, kodwa kufanele kube khona indawo enomile futhi ehlanzekile ukuba izingulube zilale. Okukhethwa kukho okungcono kungaba isiteji phansi, okulula ukuyihlanza. I-samente kumele igcinwe ekulungiseni okuhle ukuvimbela ukulimala.
Ezimweni ezithuthukisiwe, ipulasitiki eyenziwe nge-perforated flooring ngokuvamile isetshenziselwa ukugcina izingulube ezincane zifudumele futhi zisezingeni eliphansi kwezingulube ezindala. Izitezi zihlongozwa, cishe u-1% wehla kusukela emuva ukuya emnyango wangemuva kwendlu, futhi ube nesimiso esihle slurry sokuthuthukisa amanzi futhi ukhululeke ukuhlanza.

Walls should be high enough to prevent pigs from jumping over it.
Amadonga angakhiwa cishe kunoma yikuphi okutholakala endaweni, njengamapulangwe, amabhlokhi, amasitini noma insimbi, eqinile ngokwanele ukugcina izingulube zingaphakathi ngaphakathi, izitini ezikhonjiwe kahle noma ukhonkolo ngokuvamile kuyindlela engcono kakhulu, ngokusho kweNingizimu Afrika Incwadi yokukhiqiza ye-Pork Producers Organization (SAPPO), amaPigs for Profit.
Amapenki kufanele abe okungenani amamitha angu-1,2 aphezulu futhi ngezinye izikhathi ngisho nangaphezulu uma unomuthi omuhle emhlambini. Izindonga zezindonga kufanele zibe bushelelezi ngaphandle kwemibono eqondile engabangela ukulimala.
Izindwangu zensimbi noma insimbi eboshiwe ngokuvamile kuvame ukusetshenziselwa ukuphahla impahla, kodwa kungathola ukushisa kakhulu ehlobo. Umhlahlandlela we-SAPPO ukhombisa ukuthi abalimi bapenda amashidi wensimbi emhlophe noma bayigubungele ngamagatsha ukunciphisa izinga lokushisa endlini. I-Thatch yenza izinto ezinhle zokuphahla ezigcina zipholile ehlobo futhi zifudumele ehlobo.
Izindwangu kufanele ziphakanyiswe ngaphezu kodonga ngamachibi noma izinsika zokhuni ukuvumela ukukhanyisa okuhle, ukuhanjiswa kwemvelo mahhala nokuvumela ukuhamba ngokunethezeka ku-sty.
Ezindaweni ezithuthukisiwe zokuhlala izindlu kusetshenziselwa ukuvimbela ukucindezeleka kokushisa nokunciphisa izindleko zikagesi, ngokugcina imfudumalo ngaphakathi endlini ebusika nokuyigcina ngaphandle kwehlobo. Izinto ezihlukahlukene zingasetshenziselwa ukugxila, kanti i-polystyrene iyisetshenziswa kakhulu. Ngokusho kwencwadi kaDannie Visser, i-Modern Pig Production, izinto ezinhle zizokwenza:
hhayi ukuthatha umswakama.
ngeke kube nomlilo.
ephephile kwimvelo.
enamandla.
ehlala njalo.
hhayi ngokulimala kalula izilwane noma ngesikhathi sokusebenza kwansuku zonke.
kungabonakali kalula yizici eziphilayo, njengezinyosi, ama-microbes, izinambuzane, izinja noma izinyoni zasendle.
