ʻO ka ʻiʻo i ka ʻai popoki

ʻO ka mea mua, hoʻolohe mākou i ka mea nui i ka hoʻokumu ʻana o ka hānai.

ʻO nā pōpoki a pau, ʻaʻole pili i ke ʻano o ko lākou ʻano a me ka nui o ko lākou makemake e hoʻomoe ma luna o ka moena, noho mau lākou i nā mea pupule maoli, e like me ka ʻike ʻia e ko lākou mau hiʻohiʻona anatomical.

Ma ka nahelehele, hānai nui nā pōpoki i ka ʻiʻo (ua hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ka ʻai me nā hua manu i loaʻa mai nā pūnana). ʻAi lākou i nā manu, nā rodents, ʻai pinepine i nā iniseti a me nā mea kolo. ʻAʻole hoʻokomo ʻia nā meaʻai mea kanu i ka ʻai a ka pōpoki. Eia naʻe, komo ka hapa liʻiliʻi i loko o ke kino o ka pōpoki mai loko mai o ka ʻōpū o ka mea pio a loaʻa kona hopena maikaʻi. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole kūpono ke kino o ka pōpoki i ka ʻeli ʻana i ka nui o ka meaʻai mea kanu - a pono e noʻonoʻo kēia i ke koho ʻana i kahi huahana i hoʻopau ʻia.

Me ka hānai maoli ʻana, hoʻokomo ʻia nā cereals a me kekahi mau mea kanu i ka ʻai a ka pōpoki, akā ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻohui i ka meaʻai ʻiʻo kiʻekiʻe. Pono e hahai ʻia kēia lula i ke koho ʻana i nā meaʻai i mākaukau, ʻo ka mea mua, e nānā ana i ka ʻiʻo.

ʻO ka ʻiʻo ka mea nui o ka meaʻai pōpoki maikaʻi loa. ʻO nā mea hana o nā meaʻai super premium a me nā meaʻai premium e noʻonoʻo i nā pono meaʻai kūlohelohe o nā holoholona a hōʻike i kahi huahana e hoʻopiha piha iā lākou.

Eia nō naʻe, ʻokoʻa ka ʻai o ka meaʻai, a ʻo ka ʻiʻo nui loa (akā ʻaʻole o ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe) ʻaʻole paha e lawe mai i kekahi pōmaikaʻi. E hōʻoia i ka haku ʻana o ka meaʻai ʻaʻole i hoʻokomo i nā preservatives artificial, nā mea hoʻonani ʻono a me nā mea hoʻonaninani. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, kōkua nā mea hoʻoulu ʻono i ka palatability o ka meaʻai, akā me ka hoʻohana pinepine ʻana i ka hopena maikaʻi ʻole i ka ʻōnaehana nerve a me ka retina, i hōʻoia ʻia e nā haʻawina he nui. Akā inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e kūʻai i ka meaʻai me nā mea hoʻoulu ʻono, a laila pehea e pili ana i nā mea ʻai picky wāwae ʻehā he paʻakikī ko lākou makemake i ka ʻai?

E hoʻāʻo e hāʻawi iā lākou i nā ʻai o nā ʻiʻo hou i koho ʻia i mālama pono ʻia i ka wā o ka hana ʻana a ʻaʻole i paʻa i ka hau. Hoʻonui maoli ka ʻiʻo kiʻekiʻe i ka palatability o ka hānai, a ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ke kino e ʻeli. 

No laila, ʻo ka koho maikaʻi loa no ka mea hoʻomake holoholona he meaʻai mākaukau, kahi mea nui ʻaʻole cereals, e like me ka mea maʻamau, akā ʻo ka ʻiʻo dehydrated maikaʻi. Mai poina e heluhelu i ka ʻike kikoʻī e pili ana i ka haku mele (e hoʻolohe i ke koena o nā huaora, nā minela a me nā mea pono ʻē aʻe), ke kumu o ka ʻai a me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo hānai, i hōʻike ʻia ma mua a i hope paha o ka pā.
