I-Australian Cattle Dog ikala u-46 kuya ku-51 cm lapho ibuna kwabesilisa kanye no-43 kuya ku-48 cm kwabesifazane. Unentamo eqinile. Izindlebe zimile, futhi zikhombe kancane. Ijazi elingaphezulu alikwazi ukungena emanzini ngoba liqinile futhi liphansi. Imfishane ekhanda, ezindlebeni zangaphakathi kanye nengxenye yangaphambili yezitho nezinyawo. Ingubo yakhe imibalabala eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nejazi langaphansi elikhanyayo. Ingase futhi ibe nemibala ebomvu.

I-Fédération Cynologique Internationale iyihlukanisa phakathi kwezinja zezimvu nezinja zezinkomo (iqembu 1 isigaba 2).

Njengoba igama liphakamisa, i-Australian Cattle Dog yasungulwa ukuze igcine izinkomo e-Australia (i-Latin Cattle Bo (v) i-arius isho ukuthi "umgcini wenkomo"). Imvelaphi yenja isukela ngeminyaka yawo-1840s, lapho umfuyi waseQueensland, uGeorge Elliott, ewela ama-dingo, izinja zasendle zase-Australia, nama-blue merle Collies. Izinja ezavela kulesi siphambano zazithandwa kakhulu ngabafuyi bezinkomo futhi zavusa isithakazelo sikaJack noHarry Bagust. Ngemuva kokuthola ezimbalwa zalezi zinja, abazalwane baseBagust baqala izivivinyo zokuhlanganisa, ikakhulukazi ngeDalmatia neKelpie. Umphumela waba ukhokho we-Australian Cattle Dog. Ngemva kwesikhashana, kwaba uRobert Kaleski owanquma izinga lohlobo futhi ekugcineni wavunyelwa ngo-1903.

I-Australian Cattle Dog ijabule kakhulu ezindaweni ezivulekile. Uhlale eqaphile futhi eqaphe ngokwedlulele, unamandla amakhulu nobuhlakani obungavamile. Zonke lezi zimfanelo zibenza babe inja ekahle yokusebenza. Angaba ngumfuyi wezinkomo impela, kepha futhi uyakwazi nokulalela noma ukuhlolwa kokuqina. Ethembeke kakhulu futhi evikelayo, i-Australian Cattle Dog ixhumene eduze nomndeni wayo, kodwa kusabalulekile ukuthi umnikazi azibeke ngokucacile njengomholi wepakethe ukuze agweme izinkinga zokuziphatha. Ngokwemvelo bayabasola abantu abangabazi, kodwa abanalo ulaka.

I-Australian Cattle Dog iyinja eqinile kakhulu futhi ngokuvamile isesimweni esihle. Ngokwe-2014 UK Kennel Club Purebred Dog Health Survey, i-Australian Cattle Dog ayithinteki ezifweni eziningi. Cishe izingxenye ezintathu kwezine zezinja ezihlonziwe azizange zibonise isifo. Kokunye, isimo esasivame kakhulu kwakuyisifo samathambo.

Izinja Zezinkomo Zase-Australia nazo zingenwa izifo zofuzo, njenge-retinal atrophy eqhubekayo noma ukungezwa.

Ukuqhubeka kwe-retrophy atrophy

Lesi sifo sibonakala ngokuwohloka okuqhubekayo kwe-retina. Kuyefana kakhulu phakathi kwenja nendoda. Ekugcineni, kuholela ekuphuphuthekeni okuphelele futhi mhlawumbe noshintsho embala wamehlo, abonakala eluhlaza noma aphuzi kuwo. Womabili amehlo athinteka kakhulu noma ngaphansi ngasikhathi sinye nangokulinganayo.

Ukulahleka kombono kuqhubeka futhi izimpawu zokuqala zomtholampilo zingathatha isikhathi eside ukubonwa ngoba amangqamuzana okuqala esweni ahlaselwe yilesi sifo yilawo avumela ukubona ebusuku.

Ukuxilongwa kuqukethe ukuhlolwa kwe-ophthalmologic kusetshenziswa i-ophthalmoscope kanye ne-electroretinogram. Kuyisifo esingelapheki futhi ubumpumputhe ngeke bugwemeke njengamanje. Ngenhlanhla, ayinabuhlungu futhi ukubukeka kwayo okuqhubekayo kuvumela inja ukuba kancane kancane ivumelane nesimo sayo. Ngosizo lomnikazi wayo, inja iyobe isikwazi ukuphila nobumpumputhe bayo.

Ukulahlekelwa kokuzwa kwe-Congenital sensorineural

Ukulahlekelwa kokuzwa kwe-Congenital sensorineural kuyimbangela evame kakhulu yokungezwa kwezinja namakati. Kuvame ukuhlotshaniswa ne-pigmentation emhlophe yejazi futhi kubonakala sengathi izakhi zofuzo ezihilelekile ekufakeni umbala wejazi nazo zihilelekile ekudlulisweni kwefa kwalesi sifo. Kulezi zinhlobo zofuzo singacaphuna i-The merle gene (M) umalusi okungenzeka ukuthi ayithole ekuweleni kwayo ne-blue merle collie ngekhulu lesi-XNUMX (bona isigaba somlando).

Ukungezwa kungaba uhlangothi olulodwa (indlebe eyodwa) noma izinhlangothi zombili (izindlebe zombili). Esimweni sokugcina, izimpawu zomtholampilo zizosikisela impela. Inja izoba nobuthongo obunzima kakhulu futhi ilahlekelwe ukuzwela emsindweni. Ngokuphambene, inja enezithulu ezihlangene ibonisa ukubonakaliswa okungacacile kokungezwa. Kunzima-ke kumniniyo noma kumfuyi ukuthi asheshe abone ubuthulu.

Ukuxilongwa kuqondiswa ukubikezelwa kohlobo kanye nokubheka indlela inja esabela ngayo lapho kuphakama umsindo. Ukusungulwa okuhlelekile kokuxilongwa bese kwenziwa isivivinyo esilinganisa umsebenzi kagesi we-cochlea: umkhondo wamakhono wokukhishwa okuzwakalayo (AEP). Le ndlela yenza kube nokwenzeka ukuhlola ukusakazeka komsindo ezindlebeni zangaphandle neziphakathi kanye nezakhiwo zemizwa endlebeni engaphakathi, inzwa yokuzwa kanye nesiqu sobuchopho.

Okwamanje akukho ukwelashwa ukubuyisela ukuzwa ezinjeni. (4)

Ibhantshi labo elingenamanzi alinaphunga noma izinsalela ezinamafutha, kanti ijazi elifushane, eliminyene livuselelwa kabili ngonyaka. Ngakho-ke ukunakekelwa kwejazi kudinga kuphela ukugeza ngezikhathi ezithile nokuxubha masonto onke. Ibhulashi le-curry lizosiza ukugcina amajazi abo esesimweni esihle. Uzipho kufanele lunqunywe njalo ukuvikela ukuthi lungaphuli noma lukhule kakhulu. Futhi hlola izindlebe njalo ukuze uvimbele i-wax noma imfucumfucu engaholela ekuthelelekeni. Amazinyo kufanele futhi ahlolwe futhi abhulashiwe njalo.
