Imikhuba yokulima yasefekthri ibeka izigidigidi zezilwane ezimeni zezimboni eziphezulu, ezibeka phambili ukusebenza kahle kanye nenzuzo kunenhlalakahle. Izinkomo, izingulube, izinkukhu, nezinye izilwane ezifuywayo zivame ukuvalelwa ezindaweni eziminyene, zivinjelwe ukuziphatha kwemvelo, futhi zingaphansi kwemithetho yokudla okunamandla kanye nemigomo yokukhula ngokushesha. Lezi zimo zivame ukuholela ekulimaleni ngokomzimba, ukucindezeleka okungapheli, kanye nohlu lwezinkinga zempilo, okubonisa ukukhathazeka okujulile kwezimiso zokuziphatha okutholakala kwezolimo zezimboni.
Ngaphandle kokuhlupheka kwezilwane, ukulima kwasefekthri kunemiphumela emibi kakhulu emvelweni nasemphakathini. Ukusebenza kwemfuyo eningi kakhulu kunomthelela omkhulu ekungcolisweni kwamanzi, ekungcolisweni komoya, nasekukhiqizweni kwesisi esibamba ukushisa, kanti futhi kukhahlameza izinsiza zemvelo futhi kunomthelela emiphakathini yasemakhaya. Ukusetshenziswa okujwayelekile kwama-antibiotics ukuvimbela izifo ezimeni eziminyene kuphakamisa ezinye izinselelo zempilo yomphakathi, okuhlanganisa ukumelana nama-antibiotic.
Ukubhekana nokulimala kwemikhuba yokulima efekthri kudinga ukuguqulwa kwesistimu, ukwenziwa kwenqubomgomo unolwazi, kanye nokukhetha kwabathengi okuqaphelayo. Ukungenelela kwenqubomgomo, ukuziphendulela kwenkampani, nokukhetha kwabathengi—njengokweseka ukulima okuzivuselelayo noma ezinye izindlela ezisekelwe esitshalweni—kunganciphisa ukulimala okuhlobene nezolimo zezilwane ezithuthukisiwe. Ukuqaphela amaqiniso ezinqubo zokulima zasefekthri kuyisinyathelo esibalulekile sokwakha uhlelo lokudla olunobuntu, oluzinzile, nolunomthwalo wemfanelo wezilwane kanye nabantu.

Ukuhlukunyezwa kwezilwane kuyinkinga ephuthumayo ebilokhu ifihliwe isikhathi eside kakhulu. Ngenkathi umphakathi usuqaphele kakhulu inhlalakahle yezilwane namalungelo, ubudlova obenzeka ngasese emapulazini efektri busalokhu bufihliwe kakhulu ekubonweni komphakathi. Ukuphathwa kabi nokuxhashazwa kwezilwane kulezi zikhungo sekuyinto evamile ekufuneni ukukhiqizwa okukhulu nenzuzo. Noma kunjalo, ukuhlupheka kwalezi zidalwa ezingenacala akusakwazi ukunakwa. Sekuyisikhathi sokuphula ukuthula futhi sikhanyise iqiniso eliphazamisayo lokuhlukunyezwa kwezilwane emapulazini efektri. Lesi sihloko sizongena ezweni elimnyama lokulima efektri futhi sihlole izinhlobo ezahlukene zokuhlukunyezwa ezenzeka kulezi zikhungo. Kusukela ekuhlukunyezweni ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo kuya ekunganakwa kwezidingo eziyisisekelo nezimo zokuphila, sizokwembula amaqiniso anzima izilwane ezikhuthazelelayo kulo mkhakha. Ngaphezu kwalokho, sizoxoxa nge …

Imfuyo iyinhliziyo yezinhlelo zethu zezolimo, inikeza izinsiza ezibalulekile njengenyama, ubisi, kanye nendlela yokuziphilisa yezigidi. Noma kunjalo, uhambo lwabo kusukela ekuzalweni kuya endaweni yokuhlatshwa kwezilwane lwembula iqiniso eliyinkimbinkimbi nelivame ukubangela ukukhathazeka. Ukuhlola lo mjikelezo wokuphila kukhanyisa izinkinga ezibalulekile eziphathelene nenhlalakahle yezilwane, ukusimama kwemvelo, kanye nemikhuba yokukhiqiza ukudla okunesimilo. Kusukela ezindinganisweni zokunakekelwa kwasekuqaleni kuya ekuboshweni kwezindawo zokudla, izinselele zokuhamba, kanye nokuphathwa okungekuhle—isigaba ngasinye sembula amathuba okuguqulwa. Ngokuqonda lezi zinqubo kanye nemiphumela yazo ebanzi ezindaweni zemvelo nasemphakathini, singakhuthaza ezinye izindlela zozwela ezibeka phambili inhlalakahle yezilwane ngenkathi sinciphisa ukulimala kwemvelo. Lesi sihloko singena ngokujulile emjikelezweni wokuphila kwezilwane ukuze kunikezwe amandla ukukhetha kwabathengi okunolwazi okuhambisana nekusasa elinobuntu neliqhubekayo

Ngena eqinisweni elibuhlungu lokulima kwasefektri, lapho izilwane ziphucwa isithunzi futhi ziphathwa njengezimpahla embonini eqhutshwa yinzuzo. Kulandiswa ngu-Alec Baldwin, *Meet Your Meat* kudalula unya olufihliwe ngemuva kwamapulazi ezimboni ngevidiyo ekhangayo eveza ukuhlupheka okubhekene nezidalwa ezinemizwa. Le dokhumentari enamandla iphonsela ababukeli inselelo yokuthi bacabange kabusha ngokukhetha kwabo ukudla futhi bakhuthaze imikhuba yozwelo, eqhubekayo ebeka phambili inhlalakahle yezilwane kanye nomthwalo wemfanelo wokuziphatha

Imboni yobisi ibilokhu ivezwa njengesisekelo sempilo enempilo, kodwa ngemuva kwesithombe sayo esiqondiswe ngokucophelela kukhona iqiniso elicacile lonya nokuxhashazwa. Isishoshovu samalungelo ezilwane uJames Aspey kanye nophenyo lwakamuva bathole amaqiniso asabekayo mayelana nokuphathwa kwezinkomo, kusukela ekuhlukanisweni okubuhlungu kwamathole kuya ezimweni zokuphila ezingenabuntu kanye nemikhuba engekho emthethweni. Lezi zembulo ziphonsela inselelo indaba ejabulisayo ethengiswa kubathengi, zidalula ukuhlupheka okufihliwe okusekela ukukhiqizwa kobisi. Njengoba ulwazi lukhula, abantu abaningi bacabanga kabusha ngokukhetha kwabo futhi bafuna ukucaca embonini efihliwe

Ukulima efektri kuhlala kungenye yezimboni ezifihlwe kakhulu futhi eziphikisanayo, ezisebenza kude nokuhlolisisa umphakathi ngenkathi zihambisana nezilwane ezingenakucatshangwa. Ngokusebenzisa amafilimu aphoqayo nophenyo olungaphansi, lo mbhalo uhlola amaqiniso amnyama abhekene nezinkomo, izingulube, izinkukhu kanye nezimbuzi ezolimo zezimboni. Ukusuka ekusetshenzisweni okungenakugwenywa emapulazini abingezayo ezimpilweni ezicindezelayo zezinkukhu ezicindezelayo ezikhuliswe ngokubulawa ngaphansi kwamasonto ayisithupha, lezi zambulo zembula izwe eliqhutshwa yinzuzo yenhlala-kahle. Ngokudalula le mikhuba efihliwe, sinxuswa ukuba sicabange ngemikhuba yethu yokusebenzisa futhi sibheka umthelela wabo wokuziphatha ezinyaweni ezithuthukile eziboshwe ngaphakathi kwalolu hlelo

I-Thanksgiving ifana nokubonga, imibuthano yemindeni, kanye nedili le-turkey elidumile. Kodwa ngemuva kwetafula lomkhosi kukhona iqiniso elikhathazayo: ukulima kwezimboni kwama-turkey kukhuthaza ukuhlupheka okukhulu kanye nokuwohloka kwemvelo. Unyaka ngamunye, izigidi zalezi zinyoni ezihlakaniphile, ezihlala nabantu zigcinwa ezimweni ezixinene kakhulu, ziphathwa ngezinqubo ezibuhlungu, futhi zibulawa isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokufinyelela isikhathi sazo semvelo—konke ukuze kwaneliswe isidingo samaholide. Ngaphandle kokukhathazeka ngenhlalakahle yezilwane, ukushaqeka kwekhabhoni embonini kuphakamisa imibuzo ephuthumayo mayelana nokusimama. Lesi sihloko sembula izindleko ezifihliwe zalesi siko ngenkathi sihlola ukuthi ukukhetha okunengqondo kungadala kanjani ikusasa elinozwela kakhulu neliqaphela imvelo

Ukulima kwasefektri kusebenza ngemuva kobuso obakhiwe ngokucophelela, kufihla ukuhlupheka okusabalele okubangelwa izilwane egameni lokusebenza kahle. Ividiyo yethu ekhangayo yemizuzu emithathu enemifanekiso yembula la maqiniso afihliwe, iveza imikhuba evamile kodwa ekhathazayo njengokunqunywa komlomo, ukugoba umsila, kanye nokuvalelwa kanzima. Ngezithombe ezivusa imicabango kanye nokulandisa izindaba okunomthelela, le filimu emfushane imema ababukeli ukuthi babhekane nezinkinga zokuziphatha kwezolimo zezilwane zanamuhla futhi bacabangele ezinye izindlela zomusa. Masiqede ukuthula okuzungeze lezi zihlukumezi futhi sikhuthaze ushintsho olubalulekile ekuphathweni kobuntu kwazo zonke izilwane

Imboni yezinkukhu ifihla iqiniso elithusayo: ukubulawa kwezinkukhu zesilisa ngendlela ehlelekile, okubhekwa njengokuningi kakhulu ezidingweni zingakapheli amahora amaningi kusukela zichanyiselwe. Ngenkathi izinkukhu zesifazane zikhuliswa ukuze zikhiqize amaqanda, ozakwabo besilisa babhekana nesiphetho esibuhlungu ngezindlela ezifana nokugaya, ukugaya, noma ukuminyana. Lesi sihloko siveza amaqiniso anzima okuhlunga ubulili—umkhuba oqhutshwa yinzuzo ngezindleko zenhlalakahle yezilwane—futhi sihlola imiphumela yawo yokuziphatha. Kusukela ekuzaleni okukhethiwe kuya emasu okulahla ngobuningi, siveza unya olunganakwa futhi sihlole ukuthi ukukhetha kwabathengi okunolwazi kanye nezinguquko embonini kungasiza kanjani ekuqedeni lo mjikelezo ongenabuntu

Ekulimeni kwefektri, ukusebenza kahle kubekwa phambili kunanoma yini enye. Izilwane zivame ukukhuliswa ezindaweni ezinkulu, ezivalekile lapho zihlanganiswa khona ndawonye ukuze kwandiswe inani lezilwane ezingakhuliswa endaweni ethile. Lo mkhuba uvumela amazinga aphezulu okukhiqiza kanye nezindleko eziphansi, kodwa uvame ukulimaza inhlalakahle yezilwane. Kulesi sihloko, uzothola konke okudingeka ukwazi mayelana nemikhuba yokulima efektri. Ukulimeni kwefektri e-United States kuhlanganisa uhla lwezilwane, okuhlanganisa izinkomo, izingulube, izinkukhu, izinkukhu, nezinhlanzi. Izinkomo Izingulube Inhlanzi Izinkukhu Izinkukhu Izinkukhu Ezifuywayo Nezinkukhu Ukulima kwezinkukhu efektri kuhilela izigaba ezimbili eziyinhloko: lezo ezikhuliswe ukukhiqizwa kwenyama kanye nalezo ezisetshenziselwa izinjongo zokubeka amaqanda. Impilo Yezinkukhu Ze-Broiler Emapulazini Efektri Izinkukhu ezikhuliswe inyama, noma izinkukhu ze-broiler, zivame ukubekezelela izimo ezinzima empilweni yazo yonke. Lezi zimo zifaka phakathi izindawo zokuhlala ezigcwele kakhulu nezingcolile, ezinga …

I-Towerhing emkhakheni wezilwane okwamanje ovame ukunganakwa, izintshe zidlala indima emangazayo neyenziwe ngezinto eziningi ekuhwebeni komhlaba wonke. Kuhlonishwe njengezinyoni ezinkulu kakhulu ezindiza emhlabeni, lezi zinto ezinkulu ezikhuthazekile ziye zavela ngaphezu kwezigidi zeminyaka ukuchuma ezindaweni ezinokhahlo, kodwa iminikelo yazo yanda kakhulu ukubaluleka kwayo. Ukusuka ekunikezelweni kwesikhumba se-premium semfashini ephezulu yokunikeza enye indlela ye-niche emakethe yenyama, izintshe zisezinhliziyweni zezimboni ezihlala ziboshelwe ezingxoxweni zokuziphatha kanye nezinselelo ezibonakalayo. Naphezu kwamandla abo ezomnotho, izingqinamba ezinjengamazinga okufa kwabantu aphezulu, ukukhathazeka kwezenhlalakahle emapulazini, izimpikiswano zokuhamba, kanye nemikhuba yokubulala izimpikiswano iphonsa isithunzi ngale mboni. Lapho abathengi befuna ezinye izindlela ezizinzile nezinobuntu ngenkathi belinganisa ukucabanga kwezempilo aboshwe ekusetshenzisweni kwenyama, sekuyisikhathi sokukhanyisa kulezi zintombi ezikhohliwe - zombili izidingo zokushintsha ezinhlelweni zazo zokulima
