Vanhu vakawanda vanodavira kuti mombe hadzikuvadzwi kana dzikachengeterwa mukaka chete, “dzinotonakidzwa nokukamwa.” Munyika yemazuva ano, chikamu chevanhu vemumaguta chiri kuwedzera zuva nezuva uye kune nzvimbo shoma uye shoma yemapurazi echinyakare umo mombe dzinofura mumafuro, uye manheru mukadzi ane mutsa anokama mhou yakadzoka kubva kumafuro pachivanze chake. . Muchokwadi, mukaka unogadzirwa pamapurazi ezviyero zveindasitiri, uko mhou dzisingasiyi danga rakamanikana rakagoverwa kune imwe neimwe uye dzinokakamwa nemichina isina mweya. Asi nyangwe mombe yacho inochengeterwa kupi – papurazi remaindasitiri kana “mumusha wambuya”, kuti ibereke mukaka, inofanira kubereka mhuru gore negore. Hando mhuru haigoni kupa mukaka uye kuguma kwayo hakudzivisiki.
Pamapurazi, mhuka dzinomanikidzwa kubereka pasina kukanganisa. Sevanhu, mombe dzinotakura mbereko kwemwedzi mipfumbamwe. Panguva yekuzvitakura, mhou hadziregi kukama. Mumamiriro ezvinhu echisikigo, avhareji yezera remombe ingave makore makumi maviri nemashanu. Mumamiriro ezvinhu emazuva ano, vanotumirwa kuimba yekuuraya mushure memakore 9-25 e "basa". Mhou yemukaka yemazuva ano pasi pesimba retekinoroji yakasimba inobereka ka3 mukaka wakawanda kupfuura mumamiriro echisikigo. Muviri wemhou unoshanduka uye unogara uchinetseka, izvo zvinotungamirira pakubuda kwezvirwere zvakasiyana-siyana zvemhuka, zvakadai se: mastitis, Bovin's leukemia, Bovin's immunodeficiency, chirwere cheCronin.
Mishonga yakawanda nemishonga inorwisa mabhakitiriya inopiwa kumombe kurwisa zvirwere. Zvimwe zvirwere zvezvipfuyo zvinogara kwenguva refu uye zvinogara zvichipera pasina zviratidzo zvinooneka apo mhou inoramba ichikakamwa ichiendeswa kunogadzirwa. Kana mhou ikadya uswa, saka haizokwanisi kuburitsa huwandu hwakakura hwemukaka. Mhou dzinodyiswa chikafu chine macalorie akawanda, chine nyama nemapfupa uye marara emuindasitiri yehove, izvo zvisiri zvechisikigo kune mhuka dzinodya uye zvinokonzeresa kusagadzikana kwemetabolism. Kuwedzera kugadzirwa kwemukaka, mhou dzinobayiwa ne synthetic growth hormones (Bovine Growth Hormone). Mukuwedzera kune zvinokuvadza pamuviri wemhou pachayo, hormone inokonzerawo kukanganisa kwakakomba mumuviri wemhuru. Mhuru dzinoberekwa nemhou dzemukaka dzinorumurwa kubva kuna mai vadzo dzichingozvarwa. Hafu yemhuru dzinoberekwa dzinowanzova mhuru uye dzinoberekwa kuti dzitsive vanaamai vari kukurumidza kuora. Gobies, kune rumwe rutivi, vanopedza hupenyu hwavo nekukurumidza: vamwe vavo vanokura kusvika kune vanhu vakuru uye vanotumirwa kune nyama yemombe, uye vamwe vanourayiwa veal vatove mucheche.
Kugadzirwa kweveal ndeye-chigadzirwa cheindasitiri yemukaka. Mhuru idzi dzinochengetwa kwemavhiki anosvika 16 mumatanga emapuranga akamanikana umo dzisingagoni kutendeuka, kutambanudza makumbo adzo, kana kuti kunyange kurara pasi zvakanaka. Vanodyiswa mushonga wemukaka usina iron nefiber kuitira kuti vave neanemia. Kutenda kune iyi anemia (muscle atrophy) iyo "veal veal" inowanikwa - nyama inowana iyo yakapfava yakajeka ruvara uye inodhura. Mamwe magobi anourayiwa aine mazuva mashoma azvarwa kuitira kuderedza mari yekuchengeta. Kunyange kana tichitaura pamusoro pemukaka wemhou wakakodzera (pasina mahomoni akawedzerwa, mishonga inorwisa mabhakitiriya, nezvimwewo), maererano navanachiremba vakawanda, uye kunyanya Dr. Barnard, muvambi weDare reVanachiremba Responsible Medicine (PCRM), mukaka unokuvadza muviri mukuru. Hakuna mhuka dzinoyamwisa dzinodya mukaka mushure mehucheche. Uye hapana rudzi rwacho runodya mukaka weimwe mhuka nenzira yomuzvarirwo. Mukaka wemhou unoitirwa mhuru dzine dumbu rine makamuri mana uye kaviri uremu hwadzo mukati memazuva makumi mana nemanomwe uye inorema makirogiramu 47 nezera regore rimwe. Mukaka ndicho chikafu chevacheche, iyo pachayo uye isina zvigadzirwa zvekugadzira ine zvakakosha kukura kwehomoni yehupenyu huri kukura.
Kune varwere vane mapundu, vanachiremba vazhinji vanofunga kuti zvigadzirwa zvemukaka zvine njodzi, sezvo mahormone ekukura anogona kukurudzira kukura uye kuberekana kwemasero anokuvadza. Muviri wevakuru unokwanisa kutora mavhitamini anodiwa nemaminerari kubva kune zvicherwa uye kuagadzira nenzira yayo, hunhu hwechipenyu ichi. Kunwa kwemukaka kwevanhu kwakabatanidzwa nehosha yemwoyo, kenza, chirwere cheshuga, uye kunyange osteoporosis (kuderera kwemapfupa), chirwere chaicho icho indasitiri yemukaka inoshambadza zvakanyanya kudzivirira. Zviri mukati mapuroteni emhuka mumukaka zvinosunga calcium iri mumatishu uye inoiburitsa kunze panzvimbo yekupfumisa muviri wemunhu neichi chinhu. Nyika dzakasimukira dzekuMadokero dzine chinzvimbo chekutungamira pasirese maererano nehuwandu hwezviitiko zveosteoporosis. Nepo nyika dzine mukaka usinga shandiswe, dzakaita seChina neJapan, hadzina kujairana nechirwere ichi.
