Black skinned breeds are less vulnerable to sunburn than improved breeds.
Uma uqala epulazini lezingulube, kudingeka ukhethe uhlobo oluzohambisana nezinga lakho lamakhono nokuphatha. Ngokusho kwamaPigs for Profit kaDkt Jim Robinson noMeyi-Louise Penrith lezi zizwe zingahlukaniswa ngamaqembu amakhulu amabili, okuyizinhlobo ezingavunyelwe futhi zithuthukisiwe.
Izingulube ezingavunyelwe ngokuvamile zivela emphakathini noma emndenini, njenge-Kolbroek noma i-SA Landrace eyakhelwe endaweni yakhona, efanelwe uhla lwamahhala nezinhlelo eziningi zokukhiqiza. Nakuba izinhlobo ezithuthukisiwe ziyizinhlobo zanamuhla, njenge-Large White noma i-Duroc, ikakhulukazi ezisetshenziselwa izinhlelo ezinkulu zokukhiqiza ezentengiselwano.
Imikhiqizo engavunyelwe iyindlela enhle uma ungumqaphi onokuhlangenwe nakho okuncane ngezingulube, uma ungeke ukwazi ukuhlinzeka ikhwalithi yezindlu nokudla okudingekayo ngulube wanamuhla futhi uma unemakethe engayamukela noma ukhetha lolu hlobo lwezingulube.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngeke kudingeke ulahle zonke izingulube zakho uma kamuva ufuna ukuthuthukiswa ezingeni eliphakeme lokuphatha, kodwa kungasetshenziswa nje ukuboshwa kwamathumba wamanje noma ukusabalalisa okufakelwayo ekuhlwanyeleni kwakho ukuthuthukisa umkhiqizo wakho wezingulube.

Izinhlobo Ezinganonile

Lezi zinhlobo ngokuvamile zibomvu ziboshwe ngamajazi amnyama amnyama noma amabala azinikezela kancane kancane ngenxa yokushisa ilanga. Ngokuvamile ziqinile, zikwazi ukubekezelela amazinga okushisa ahlukahlukene, eziphikisana nezifo futhi zidinga ukuphathwa okuncane okuzenza zibe yindawo ekahle yokukhiqiza noma ukukhiqizwa kwendawo. Futhi banesidingo esiphansi samanzi nesondlo, kodwa kusobala ukuthi uzokwenza kangcono uma ukondla futhi uzinakekele.
Ngenkathi lezi zinhlobo zinezikhathi ezinhle zokubeletha, izihlwanyela zikhiqiza amalitha amancane ngezingulube eziyisihlanu kuphela kuya kweziyisishiyagalombili, nakuba lokhu kungase kube ngaphezulu uma bedliwe kahle. Enye inselele ukuthi iyingcosana kuya emkhatsini wezinga eliphezulu futhi ijwayele ukukhiqiza amafutha amaningi. Ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukugcina imakethe lapho kunesidingo salowo nyama, ngaphambi kokuqala ukuhweba kwezingulube ngalezi zinhlobo.

Lezi zinhlobo ngokuvamile zivame izingulube ezimhlophe ezimhlophe ezinamahloni amhlophe amhlophe, okubenza bavikeleke ekushiseni ilanga. Bakwazi kalula ukucindezeleka ukushisa lapho izinga lokushisa lishisa kakhulu. Azizona eziphikisana nezifo njengezinhlobo ezingavunyelwe futhi zidinga ukuphathwa kwezwi, ukuphakela okuhle kwekhwalithi namanzi ukwenza kahle.
Ngasohlangothini oluthe xaxa zikhiqiza kakhulu, zikhiqiza amalitha wezingulube eziyishumi nangaphezulu ngesikhathi esisodwa. Nokho, mhlawumbe izinhlanzi zidinga ukusizwa ngokuphakamisa izingulube zabo. Bakha amafutha amancane maqondana nenani lenyama elikhiqizwayo, uma kuqhathaniswa nezinhlobo ezingavunyelwe.
