Ingulube enempilo inesikhumba esihlanzekile, esithambile esiqhakaza ngokucacile. Ngokusho kwezingulube ze-Pork Producers Production Organisation yenzuzo yenzuzo. Kukhona okungahambi kahle uma isikhumba sibe obomvu noma sikomvu, siphukile, silimala, siphuphuma, siqhuma, sihlambalaza, sihlwitha, sihlambalaza, izingulube zinama-bald ezibonakalayo, zikhona izinambuzane ezibonakalayo nezingulube zihlale zizijikijela ngokumelene nezinhloso zokukhulula. Izimo ezimbalwa eziningi ezingathinta isikhumba sezingulube, ziqokonyiswe lapha.

Amanxeba, isikhumba ephukile, imfucumfucu kanye nezimpukane zihlala endaweni encane yengulube ingase ibe ngenxa yokulwa, ukukhala noma ukulimala ngezinto ezibukhali, njengezipikili, izintambo noma emaphethelweni amashidi ensimbi ebukhali.
Ukwelapha
Amanxeba kufanele ahlanzwe nge-disinfectant futhi aphathwe ngesifutho esilonda, njenge-iodine noma i-gentian violet. Abalimi kufanele bagweme izingulube ezidlulayo, ngoba lokhu kuzoholela ekulwa. Amaphoyinti kanye nama-sties kufanele ahlolwe njalo ukuze abone futhi asuse, agcine noma alungise izinto ezingabangela ukulimala.

Ukushiswa Ilanga

Izingulube ezimhlophe ezimhlophe zizwela kakhulu ukushisa kwelanga, okuzobonakala ekuhlungeni okubomvu kwesikhumba futhi ngezinye izikhathi nezibhansela. Ukushiswa kwelanga kungabangela izingulube zigula ngenxa yokushaywa kwesibindi, kanye nezibonakaliso ezinokwenzeka ezihlanganisa ukucindezeleka, izinga eliphezulu lokuphefumula, ukuthuthumela kwemizimba, isikhumba esibomvu, ubuthakathaka, ukuhlanza, isifo sohudo, ukukhulelwa kwamanzi kanye nomkhuhlane. Amagogo angafa ngokushaywa komlilo uma kungakapheli isikhathi.
Ngokwe-athikili ye-National Animal Disease Information Service (NADIS), i-Pig Health - Ukushisa kwelanga nokushisa ukushisa/ukucindezeleka kokushisa, ukushisa kwelanga kungadideka nezinye izimo zangaphandle ezingabangela ukukhishwa kanzima kwesikhumba nesikhumba, njengokuzwela okukhulu ukukhanya kwelanga okubangelwa yizifo ezithile zezitshalo, ngokwesibonelo ama-parsnips, izaqathe, i-parsley, ukudlwengulwa nama-oats.

Ukwelapha
Ukuvimbela ukushisa kwelanga nokushisa kwesibindi, ingulube ngayinye emhlambini kufanele ifinyelele emthunzini okwanele futhi ipholile amanzi okuphuza ahlanzekile. Udaka oluvuthayo, ngenxa yezingulube ezigcinwe ngaphandle, lunganikeza isivikelo esiyingqayizivele ekubhekaneni nokushisa kwelanga uma umzimba wonke wezingulube uhlanganiswa nodaka olukhulu.
I-NADIS iphakamisa ukusebenzisa ukhilimu wokuphulukisa noma u-emollient ukuze unciphise ukungahambi kahle nokusiza ukuphulukiswa ezinkhukhunjini ze-sunburnt kakhulu nokusetshenziswa kwama-painter anti-inflammatory anti-inflammatory ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu.
I-Pig Site ku-Guide Yaso Yesifo Esiphuthumayo, ikhombisa ukuthi abalimi baphatha izingulube ngenxa yokushisa ukushisa ngokufaka izilwane emanzini abandayo noma amanzi apholile namanzi abandayo besebenzisa i-valve ye-flutter.
