Izinto Okumele Ucabange Ngazo Ngokuhlala Kwezingulube
Ama-pig kufanele ahlale noma aqinisekiswe ukuzivikela ezifweni, ama-parasites, ukweba kanye nezilwane ezidliwayo kanye nokuzivimbela ezitshalweni ezilimazayo nasemasimini, ekusakazeni izifo noma ekubalekeni nasekulahlekeni. Izindlu ezinhle zizophinde zithuthukise induduzo yezilwane, zinciphise ukucindezeleka, okuzokwenza kube khona izingulube ezinempilo.
Roofs should be raised to allow good lighting and free air circulation in houses.
Ngaphambi kokutshala imali emabhizinisini, ukuthi ngokusho kwencwadi kaDanie Visser's Modern Pig Production ingadla izikhathi ezingaphezu kwezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu kunezindlu ezintsha eNingizimu Afrika, iNhlangano yaseNingizimu Afrika yasePork Producers Organisation (SAPPO) iluleka abalimi ukuba bacabangele lokhu okulandelayo kuMqulu wayo abalimi bezikhumba ezivela:
Earth camps might be okay if the camps are large enough so pigs have a dry spot to sleep.
Izakhiwo zanamuhla zibiza kakhulu, ngakho kungaba ngcono ukuqala ngezingulube ezimbalwa ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ukhona kuyo isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuba wenze utshalomali olunjalo. Uma wenza utshalomali, izindleko zengqalasizinda kanye nokukhiqizwa kufanele zonke zicatshangelwe ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ibhizinisi lizokwazi ukusebenza ngokwezomnotho. Kungaba usizo ukubonisana nochwepheshe ukusiza ngokuhlela ibhizinisi.
Izinto zokwakha: Izingulube zingabhubhisa, ngakho-ke khetha izinto zokwakha, njengensimbi nesamente okuzohlala isikhathi eside.
Walls can be constructed from almost any locally available material, such as wood.
Izindonga noma izicabha kufanele zishiswe emhlabathini futhi ziqiniswe esisekelo ukuvimbela izingulube ukuba bangaphunyuka, njengoba kukhona kahle diggers, futhi ukugcina izinsongo ezingase zibe, ezifana namagundane, ama-parasites kanye nezidumbu ngaphandle.
Indawo yokuhlala: Isakhiwo kumele sinikeze umthunzi owanele nendawo yokukhosela emvula nasemoyeni obandayo.
Ukuhlanza kalula: Kumele kube lula ukuhlanza isakhiwo kanye nesitezi kufanele kube nzima futhi kube mnene ohlangothini lwemifula elula. Ipeni langaphandle kumele libe likhulu futhi i-floor absorbent ngokwanele ukuvimbela ukuqoqwa kwamanzi amaningi. (Lokhu akusho ukuthi izingulube akufanele zivunyelwe ukugoba odakeni oluhlanzekile.)
Some pigs can thrive in simple fenced or walled camps with shelter, or open pens that provide roofed and walled areas.
Izakhiwo ezivaliwe kufanele zenzelwe ukuvumela umoya omuhle womoya, okuzosiza ukuvimbela izinkinga zokuphefumula. Izakhiwo ezingabizi kakhulu zisebenzisa umoya wokuvuthwa kwemvelo, kanti izakhiwo eziyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu nezindleko zisebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bokulawula isimo sezulu.
Indawo evulekile: Ingulube ngayinye kufanele ibe nendawo evulekile eyanele yokunethezeka. Ngokusho ikhodi yenhlalakahle, izingulube zezilwane ezigcinwe ngaphakathi endlini, kufanele zibe nokufinyelela okungenani imitha eyodwa yesikwele ngesilinganiso esibukhoma obukhulu be-100 kg. Izingulube zangaphandle zizodinga isikhala esengeziwe, okungenani okungamamitha ayi-square ayisithupha kunconywa ngalunye ukuhlwanyela ngaphandle. Ukweqa ngokweqile kuzoholela ekulwa, umsila nokukhula okuncane. Ngesikhala esanele, izingulube zizokhetha indawo yangasese endaweni yokulala, ishiya indawo eningi isomile futhi ihlanzekile.
Kuphephile: Akufanele kube khona izinto ezibukhali noma izipikili eziphangayo ezingalimaza izingulube futhi phansi akufanele kube nesisindo. Isakhiwo kufanele futhi senzelwe ukuvimbela ukulimala okungadingekile.
Ukufinyelela: Kufanele kube nesango noma umnyango kuwo wonke ipeni, ukuvumela ukuhamba kalula kwezingulube nabantu ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwamapenki.
