No ke aha i pōʻeleʻele mau ai nā mahi moa nui?

Ua ʻike paha ʻoe i kekahi mau wikiō onā mahi moa nuima ka Pūnaewele. Mālama ʻia nā moa i loko o nā pā liʻiliʻi.

Ua pōʻeleʻele loa ka mahi moa a ua pouli hoʻi ma nā wahi a pau. No ke aha e hana ai nā mahi moa i nā kūlana ola kūlohelohe ʻole no nā moa?

ʻO ka mea ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo kahi kumu nui o ke kahua pōʻeleʻele, ʻo ia ke pale ʻana i ka hanana ʻana o nā hanana ʻai moa, a ʻo ke kanaka nui o ka ʻai moa ʻo ia ka moa ponoʻī.

Ua ʻike anei ʻoe i ka nui o nā moa ma nā mahi moa e make ana? Ua make ma muli o ke kuʻi ʻia ʻana o ko lākou mau hoa.

ʻAe, ʻo nā moa, a me nā pelehū, nā pheasants, a me nā manu he nui he ʻano ʻē ko lākou o ke kuʻi ʻana i ko lākou mau hoa.

I loko o ke ao moa, aia kekahi ʻano noho aliʻi ʻino e like me ke kauoha pecking. Hōʻike ka kauoha pecking kiʻekiʻe i kahi kūlana kiʻekiʻe. Hiki i nā moa me kahi kauoha pecking kiʻekiʻe ke ʻai mua, a hiki iā lākou ke hoʻoweliweli i nā moa me kahi kūlana haʻahaʻa.

ʻO ka ʻai kanaka i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka pecking order ma ke ʻano laulā he ʻelua ʻano, ʻo kekahi ka pecking feather a ʻo kekahi ka pecking i ka anus.

ʻAʻole i kaupalena ʻia ka ʻai kanaka ʻana o nā moa i nā moa makua. I kekahi manawa e hoʻomaka pū nā moa e ʻai i nā hua inā he mau hua haki i loko o ka pūnana.

ʻO kekahi ʻano maʻamau o nā moa, ʻo ia ma hope o ka ʻike ʻana i ka moa i hoʻomāinoino ʻia a hiki i ke kiko o ka nalowale ʻana o kona lauoho a me ke oho a me ke kahe ʻana o ke koko, e hoʻomāinoino nā moa ʻē aʻe iā ia ma kahi o ke kōkua ʻana i ka poʻe nāwaliwali.

Nonā mahi moa, inā lōʻihi ka loaʻa ʻana o hoʻokahi moa i loaʻa i ka maʻi, aia paha kahi luku nui, e hopena ana i nā pohō nui.

Inā nui ka nui o nā moa, i mea e hōʻoia mau ai i ko lākou kūlana, e hakakā pinepine nā moa i loko o ka hakakā, e hopena ana i nā pōʻino. ʻO kēia ke kumu e ʻike ai mākou i kekahi mau moa ʻōhule i ʻoki ʻia i loko o kekahinā mahi moa nui.

I kekahi manawa, hiki i ka nele o ka methionine ke alakaʻi i ka ʻoki ʻana o ka ʻano like. No nā moa, ʻo ka methionine kahi waikawa amino koʻikoʻi ʻaʻole hiki ke hana ʻia e ke kino a pono e ʻai ʻia ma o ka meaʻai. A no ka mea aia ka sulfur-methionine i loko o nā hulu o nā manu, ʻo nā moa nele i ka sulfur e ʻoki i nā hulu o nā moa ʻē aʻe, e alakaʻi ana i ka ʻai kanaka.

Eia kekahi, he mau ʻōpū ko nā moa i kapa ʻia he mau ʻōpū lick. Inā nele ka meaʻai i ka paʻakai, ʻaʻole lawa ka paʻakai a me ka ʻono o nā huna o nā ʻōpū lick, a e nahu nā moa i nā ʻōpū lick o nā moa ʻē aʻe e hoʻopiha i ka paʻakai.

 ʻO ka ʻoki ʻana i ka hapakolu o ka nuku o ka moa, i ʻike ʻia ʻo ka ʻoki ʻana i ka nuku, he hana maʻamau.
