Izimakethe Zezinkukhu

Ngaphambi kokuqala ukuqhuma kwenkukhu, kudingeka ucabange ukuthi uzoyithengisa kuphi umkhiqizo. Ungase unqume ukugxila ekukhiqizeni kwamaqanda, ukukhiqiza inyama, ukukhiqiza kwezinyoni, ukuqothula kwamaqanda noma konke lokhu uma ufuya izinyoni ezimbili. Khumbula ukuthi yileso naleso siqingithi kulezi sikhethekile kakhulu, ngakho-ke kungase kudingeke ukuba ugxile kwenye yalezi uma ufuna ukuthola inzuzo enkulu.
Ngaphambi kokuba uthenge izinyoni zakho noma yimiphi imishini, udinga ukukhomba imakethe yakho ehlosiwe, ukuthi imakethe ifunani, ukuthi yini ezimisele ukukhokha nokuthi kungakanani okuzokubiza ukuze ukhiqize lo mkhiqizo. Kungcono nakakhulu uma ukwazi ukuthola imakethe ngaphambi kokuqala ukukhiqizwa.

Imaketethe Yezinkukhu Ezikhiqizelwa Inyama Yokudla

Izinyoni ezikhiqizwa emakethe yenyama zibizwa ngokuthi ama-broilers. Imakethe ehlelekile ihloselwe ukuthatha izinyoni ezilinganiselwa ku-1,8 kg, kanti imakethe yokudla okusheshayo idinga izinyoni ezincane. Izimakethe zaseYurophu naseMelika zifuna izinyoni ezinkulu kunaseNingizimu Afrika, ngoba zidla inyama yenkukhu namaphiko kuphela. Zonke ezinye izitho zezinyoni,zithunyelwa ngaphandle.
Imakethe engakahleleki eNingizimu Afrika ingase ikhethe nezinyoni ezinkulu futhi zikhethe izinhlobo ezithile zokukhukhula kwezinkukhu. Abakhiqizi bezinye izinkukhu kanye nabakhiqizi bamaqanda nabo bafaka imali emakethe asetshenzisiwe-izinkukhu, eziyizinyonikazi ezivuthiwe eziqedile ukukhiqiza amaqanda noma ukujikeleza kwazo.izinkukhu ezisethenzisiwe zibizwa ngokuthi yi-Cornish hens noma amaRocks emalokishi(ngesingisi). Izinkukhu ezisetshenzisiwe zikhulu, futhi inyama yazo iqinile kunenyama yezinyoni ezithengiswa njengama-broilers.

Imithethonqubo yeMakethe

Ezinye izidingo kufanele nazo zicatshangelwe. Izinyoni kufanele zikhuliswe ngokwanele futhi ziphephe ekudleni - okungenakuxoxisana nanoma iyiphi imakethe. Abakhiqizi abafuna ukuhlinzeka ngemakethe esemthethweni kumele bahambisane namazinga okuphepha okunempilo nokuvikelwa kokudla kunalokho uma bethengisa emakethe engakahleleki, lezi zindinganiso zizohlukahluka phakathi kwabadayisi abahlukene.
Amazinga okuthengisa izinyoni ahlukene azophinde ahluke phakathi kwabadayisi futhi abe ngaphezulu nakakhulu uma ufuna ukuthengisa izinyoni njengendawo ehamba phambili, ngoba lokhu kuzoba nomthelela ohlotsheni lwezinkomo nemithi ezokwenziwa izinyoni . (Funda kabanzi mayelana nokukhiqizwa kwamahhala.)

Iminyaka Ozoyibulala

Omunye umbuzo obalulekile okufanele ucatshangelwe yiwona unyaka lapho izinyoni zizothengiswa khona. Kumele ubale izindleko zokugcina izinyoni ngosuku bese ubona iphuzu lapho izinyoni kufanele zithengiswe khona ukuze uzivimbele ekudleni yonke inzuzo yakho. Lokhu kuzobaluleka kakhulu ohlelweni lapho izinyoni zikhiqizwa khona ohlelweni olukhiqizayo lokukhiqiza lapho zithola khona izindleko ezibizayo zokusheshisa ukukhula kwazo, kunokuba isistimu lapho izinyoni zishiywe khona ukuze zithole futhi zizivikele. Ikhefu likhomba ngisho nasezintweni zokukhiqiza ezivame ukulala phakathi kwezinsuku ezingu-32 namasonto ayisithupha.

Engeza Ubaluleko

Ingabe izinyoni zingathengiswa ziphila noma zifile? Enye yezinzuzo zokuthengisa izinyoni ezihlatshiwe emakethe engakahleleki ukuthi ivumela abalimi ukuba bafake isitokisi ukuze banqobe izikhathi lapho kunesidingo esiphansi senyama. Kungase futhi kuvumele ukuba bangeze inani lenyama ngokuthengisa izingcezu zezinkukhu. Izimo ezimbi ukuthi leyo nyama ephoqelekile izokwenyusa izindleko zikagesi, idinga amafriji abizayo kanye nemishini yokubulala kanye nendawo eyengeziwe. Ngaphezu kwalokhu, abalimi bayavunyelwa ukubulala izinyoni ukuze bazisebenzise, kodwa hhayi ukuzithengisa ngaphandle kokuthi zihlatshwe ematheni, ngokusho kwe-Meat Safety Act.
Abanye abalimi banqobe le nselele ngokunikeza amaklayenti indawo endaweni yabo lapho izinyoni zingabulawa khona, kanti ezinye zidonsa imithombo yokwakha izilwane zabo zokuhlaselwa kanye nezindawo zokucubungula inyama.

Ukufaka Uphawu

Omunye umbuzo wukuthi uzosebenzisa ukufaka uphawu lokufaka uphawu ukuze wenze umkhiqizo wakho uphume kwezinye imikhiqizo. Lokhu kungase kungabi kubalulekile uma uqala, kodwa kungasiza ukuhlukanisa kusuka kumncintiswano uma usungulwe kahle.
