Imbuzi yeSaanen iyinzalo yembuzi yobisi edabuka eSaanen Valley eSwitzerland. Uyaziwa nangokuthi "Chèvre de Gessenay" ngesiFulentshi nase "Saanenziege" ngesiJalimane. Izimbuzi ze-Saanen yizinhlobo ezinkulu kakhulu zezimbuzi zobisi. Ziyakhiqiza futhi zikhuliswa kuzo zonke izifunda, zikhule emapulazini ezentengiselwano okukhiqizwa ubisi.
Izimbuzi ze-Saanen zithunyelwa emazweni amaningi kusukela ngekhulu le-19 futhi zathengwa abalimi ngenxa yokukhiqiza kwabo okuphezulu.
Izici zezimbuzi ze-Saanen
Ingenye yezimbuzi zobisi ezinkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni kanye nembuzi enkulu yaseSwitzerland. Ngokuyinhloko, lo mhlobo umhlophe ngokuphelele noma ukhilimu omhlophe, kanti ezinye izinhlobo zakha izindawo ezincane ezinombala esikhunjeni. Ibhantshi lifushane futhi lincane, ngama-bangs ngokuvamile akhula ngaphezu komgogodla namathanga.
Izimbuzi azikwazi ukuma ilanga eliqinile, ngoba yizilwane ezinesikhumba esiphaphathekile ezinamaphondo nezimpondo. Imisila yawo injengesimo sebhulashi. Izindlebe ziqonde, zikhomba phezulu naphambili. Isisindo esiphilayo sesifazane esidala sisuka kuma-60 kuye kuma-70 kg. Imbuzi inkudlwana kunembuzi ngosayizi, isisindo esiphilayo sembuzi yamazinyane endala sisuka kuma-70 kuye kuma-90 kg.
Zidlani izimbuzi ze-Saanen?
Izimbuzi zidla noma yibuphi utshani futhi zithola ukudla ngisho nasemadlelweni ayindlala. Uhlobo lwakhuliswa ngenhloso yokuthuthuka okunamandla ezimweni zemvelo futhi lukhula kabi uma luhlala kufula olulodwa epulazini. Uhlobo lwembuzi yobisi ludinga:
- ukudla okunothile kwamaprotheni;
- ukudla okunomsoco kakhulu;
- inani elanele lemvelo lokukhula nentuthuko;
- amanzi ahlanzekile futhi ahlanzekile.
Ukuzala, inzalo nokuzala okuphambene
Uhlobo luzalana unyaka wonke. Izinyane elilodwa lembuzi liletha eyodwa noma ezimbalwa zezingane. Abamele lezi zinhlobo bavame ukusetshenziselwa ukuwela nokuthuthukisa izinhlobo zezimbuzi zendawo. Ama-subspecies amnyama (Sable Saanen) amukelwa njengohlobo olusha eNew Zealand ngawo-1980.
Isikhathi sokuphila, imijikelezo yokuzala kabusha
Lezi zimbuzi ziphila cishe iminyaka eyishumi, zifinyelela ekuvuthweni ngokocansi phakathi kwezinyanga ezintathu kuya kwezingu-12. Isikhathi sokuzala sisekwindla, kanti umjikelezo wowesifazane uhlala izinsuku eziyi-17 kuya kwezingama-23. I-Estrus ihlala amahora ayi-12 kuye kwangama-48. Ukukhulelwa izinsuku eziyi-148 kuya kwezingu-156.
Imbuzi ihogela umoya ukuqonda ukuthi insikazi isesikhathini se-estrus, yelula intamo yayo nekhanda phezulu bese ishwabanisa izindebe zayo ezingenhla.
Izinzuzo zabantu
Izimbuzi ze-Saanen ziqinile futhi ezinye zezimbuzi ezikhiqiza kakhulu emhlabeni, futhi zisetshenziselwa ukukhiqiza ubisi kunokufihla. Ukukhiqizwa kwabo kobisi okujwayelekile kufinyelela kuma-840 kg ezinsukwini ezingama-264 zokuncelisa. Ubisi lwezimbuzi lusezingeni elifanele impela, liqukethe okungenani amaprotheni angu-2.7% namafutha angu-3.2%.
Izimbuzi ze-Saanen zidinga ukuzilungisa okuncane, ngisho nezingane ezincane zingazinakekela futhi zizinakekele. Izimbuzi zihambisana ndawonye nezinye izilwane. Banobuntu obulalelayo futhi obunobungani ngokuvamile. Baphinde bazalelwe njengezilwane ezifuywayo ngobumnene bazo. Umuntu kudingeka ukuthi:
- gcina indawo yokuhlala izimbuzi ihlanzekile ngangokunokwenzeka;
- thintana nodokotela wezilwane uma izimbuzi zigula noma zilimala.
Izimo zokuphila
Izimbuzi ze-Saanen yizilwane ezinamandla ezigcwele impilo futhi zidinga indawo enkulu yokudla. Isikhumba esikhanyayo nejazi azizifanele izindawo ezishisayo. Izimbuzi zizwela kakhulu elangeni futhi zikhiqiza ubisi oluningi ezindaweni ezipholile. Uma uzalisa izimbuzi ze-Saanen ezifundeni eziseningizimu zezwe, ukuhlinzeka umthunzi ekushiseni kwasemini kuyisidingo sokugcina lolu hlobo.
Izimbuzi zimba umhlabathi eduze kothango, ngakho-ke kuyadingeka uthango oluqinile ukugcina izilwane zivaliwe uma ungafuni ukuba zihlakazeke zizungeze indawo zifuna uhlaza olunamanzi.
