The Kolbroek is an indigenous South African breed that looks as if it is wearing spotted pants.
I-Kolbroek iyihlobo lomdabu waseNingizimu Afrika. Izinkolelo ezihlukahlukene zikhona mayelana nemvelaphi yokuzalwa nokuthi zithatha kanjani igama layo, enye ngokuthi igama libhekisela ekubukeni okubonakalayo kohlobo kusukela ngegama lesiBhunu elithi "Kolbroek" lingashintshwa ngokuthi "ibhulukwe elibonakalayo" ngesiNgisi.
Uhlobo lukhulu kakhulu ekukhiqizeni kwangaphandle, njengoba beqinile, behamba kalula, beza kakhulu futhi bakwazi ukuphila ngokuncane kakhulu. Ngokusho kwencwadi kaDavid Visser, i-Modern Pig Production, bayodla cishe noma yini edlayo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi isithelo esiwile esivinini, imfucuza yemifino ekhishini noma ezitshalweni zezitshalo ezivela ensimini. Izikhumba zabo ezimnyama nazo zibahlinzekela kangcono ukushisa kwelanga kunezinhlobo ezimhlophe.
Izihlwanyezi zenza kahle futhi zenza omama abahle. Ziningi kakhulu, zikhiqiza amalitha ahlukene phakathi kwama-piglets ayisithupha kuya kwangu-9. Ukuhamba ngezinhlobo ezifana ne-Duroc ne-Large White kuveza inzalo ngokukhula okuthuthukisiwe, ukuguqulwa kokudla kanye nekhwalithi yenyama kanye ne-carcass. Inyama kaKolbroek yodwa ayikho isidingo esikhulu emakethe ejwayelekile ngenxa yezimpawu zenyama kanye nokucwasa, kepha kubonakala sengathi ukukhula okuncane kokufunwa okuvela emdabu, ukudla okunciphisa kanye nemakethe yamahhala.

The Piètrain are primarily crossed with other breeds to improve meat yield.
Lobuhlanga obumaphakathi obukhulu obunamabala amnyama buvela emzaneni wasePiètrain, eBelgium. Inemilenze emifushane kunezinhlobo eziningi futhi ihlala isakhiwe futhi ivulekile ngemuva. Izinwele ezimnyama azihlosiwe njengezinye izinhlobo ezibomvu noma ezimnyama ezibonakalayo.
AbaPietrains bokuqala bangeniswa eNingizimu Afrika ngo-1997. Amathumba asemascled kahle futhi alungele ukusetshenziselwa ukukhiqiza uma eneminyaka eyizinyanga eziyisishiyagalombili ubudala. Zisetshenziswa ikakhulukazi kwezinye izinhlobo zokuthuthukisa inyama. Ohlwanyelayo, ngenkathi ekhululekile, ngokuvamile omama abampofu.

There are hardly any purebred Large Black pigs still available.
Enkulu emnyama ingulube enkulu emnyama egcwele izindlebe ezinkulu eziqoshiwe ezivela kwi-Old English Hog eyakhiwe ngekhulu le-16 nele-17. Yayingeniswa kuqala eNingizimu Afrika ngasekuqaleni kuka-1910 futhi yayiyihlobo oludumile kakhulu ezweni kuze kube yilapho kuthuthukiswa izinhlobo ezimhlophe. Akungabazeki ukuthi ama-specimens ahlanzekile asekhona ezweni.
Uhlobo lukhulu kakhulu ekukhiqizeni ngaphandle, njengoba luqinile, olulula futhi oluhle kakhulu. Babuye banengozini encane yokushisa ilanga, kunezinhlobo ezimhlophe. Ukuhlwanyela kuyinto enhle kakhulu, iningi, yenza omama abanobuchule bekhono lokukhwabanisa futhi bayakwazi ukukhuphula amalitha ajwayelekile ngaphandle kwemikhakha elula.
Kule minyaka edlule, inyama iye yanyanyiswa ngenxa yombala omnyama wohlobo lomuntu kanye nombala omnyama omnyama, okwenza ukuba ifane nembewu emnyama emanzini, uye wabuye wawubonisa ukuthi awuyithandani nama-baconers. Izimakethe ze-Niche zezinhlanzi ezimnyama nokuwela kwazo kungenzeka ukuthi zikhona, ikakhulukazi ezendabuko, ukudla okunomsoco noma izimakethe ezihamba phambili.

The Hampshire has lost favour because of it carrying a gene that negatively affects meat quality.
I-Hampshire itholakala ezizalweni ezindala zesiNgisi. Ingulube emnyama enebhande lesikhumba esimhlophe nezinwele ezizungezile emahlombe kanti ngezinye izikhathi ziwela ngaphesheya kwezingaphambili. Intamo yalolu hlobo iyinde kunayo yonke iminye imikhiqizo yezohwebo.
Uhlobo lwazo lwangeniswa kuqala eNingizimu Afrika phakathi nawo-1980 ukuze kutholakale uhlobo olusha lokudlula. Ngenkathi isatholakala emafolini amaningi e-United States, lo mhlobo ulahlekelwe emazweni aseYurophu, eCanada naseNingizimu Afrika ngenxa yombala wayo wesikhumba omnyama futhi ithwale isakhi sofuzo esinomthelela omubi ekwenzeni inyama.
