Umphumela omuhle wezilwane kubantu ufakazelwe ngokwesayensi futhi uvame ukusetshenziswa ngendlela yokwelapha. Kodwa kanjani izinja zokwelapha ngokwenza, abacwaningi eNyuvesi yeVeterinary Medicine eVienna bazibuze. Ocwaningweni oselushicilelwe manje, bakhombise ukuthi izilwane azisacindezelwe ngesikhathi sokwelashwa kweqembu kunalokho ezikuso ngesikhathi sazo samahhala - inqobo nje uma zibamba iqhaza ngokuzithandela futhi zikwazi ukuhambahamba ngokukhululeka.
Ukwelapha okusizwa yizilwane kuya ngokuya kusetshenziselwa ukwelapha izifo ezingokomzimba nezingokwengqondo kubantu. Nakuba kunezifundo eziningi zesayensi ekwelapheni okusizwa yizilwane, ucwaningo okugxilwe kulo kuze kube manje sekuyimiphumela kubantu. U-Lisa Maria Glenk we-Messerli Research Institute e-Vetmeduni Vienna, ngakolunye uhlangothi, uhlola isimo sokwelapha ngokombono wesilwane. “Uma izilwane zinengcindezi emsebenzini, lokhu kungaba nemiphumela engemihle empilweni yazo yengqondo nengokomzimba. Uma izilwane zenza kahle, ekugcineni kusiza abantu,” kusho usosayensi.
Inkululeko yokuhamba kwezinja ibalulekile
Lolu cwaningo, oselushicilelwe manje, luhlole izinja ezinhlanu zokwelashwa eziqeqeshiwe nezinolwazi ezihambela njalo amaseshini eqembu nemilutha yezidakamizwa. Izinga lokucindezeleka lezinja emaphuzwini ahlukene ngesikhathi linganqunywa kusetshenziswa amasampula amathe athathwe phakathi nangemuva kwezikhathi zokwelapha kanye nangesikhathi sokungcebeleka. Inkomba yezinga lokucindezeleka izinga le-cortisol ematheni. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuziphatha kwezinja kwabhalwa ngevidiyo. Imiphumela inikeza ulwazi olubalulekile: “Izinja zokwelapha azicindezelwe phakathi nalolu hlobo lomsebenzi wokwelapha,” kufingqa u-Glenk.
Ocwaningweni lwangaphambilini, usosayensi wabonisa ukuthi izinja ezenza ngaphandle kwe-leash ekwelapheni okusizwa yizilwane neziguli zengqondo zinezinga eliphansi le-hormone yokucindezeleka i-cortisol kunezinja ezixhumene ne-leash. “Ngakho-ke kuya ngokuthi izilwane zingakwazi yini ukuhamba ngokukhululeka, okusho ukuthi aziboshelwe ngentambo, nokuthi zikhululekile yini ukuphuma noma nini ekamelweni,” kugcizelela uGlenk.
Izimfuno ezeqile kanye nokungavikeleki kunomphumela omubi
Kodwa-ke, uma izinja zokwelapha zingavikelekile noma zikhungathekile, izimpawu ezinjengokulahlekelwa izinwele, i-dandruff, ukuluma i-leash, noma isifo sohudo. Lokhu kungase futhi kubangele ukwenqaba ukudla, ukugwema ukubheka abantu emehlweni, noma ukunciphisa amandla okugxilisa ingqondo.
Abanikazi bezinja kufanele bathathe ngokungathi sína izimpawu zokucindezeleka okukhulu phakathi nezikhathi zokwelapha futhi basuse izilwane esimweni. "Ukugadwa" okujwayelekile kwezinja zokwelapha nakho kuyanconywa. Odokotela bezilwane abanolwazi locwaningo lokuziphatha bangasebenzisa ukugada kwezilwane ukuze bathole ukungahambi kahle ngakunye ezinjeni zokwelapha kusenesikhathi.
