When beginning pig farming you should first plan on where you want your domestic swine to call home. For pig housing you must construct a well aired pig pen which is spacious as well. You should place your pig pen in a flat place that is free from mud that may attract insects.
Your swine pen should be large enough to accommodate your entire swines and should be comfortable to your pigs as well. To make it comfortable you may install hog wire and concrete slabs. The fence should be buried six inches deep in the ground so that the pigs don’t dig under it. Concrete slabs will make sure that the floor is proper and easy to clean.
To absorb smells that the swine produce you can put hay and straws on the ground. You may also design parts in the pen where your pigs can feed, rest and relieve themselves. A nice roofing is needed as well to protect your swine from extreme weather like heat and rain.
After you have built a pig pen you then go ahead in getting the right swine breed for your task. This should be done carefully. Make sure that you purchase your swine from a seller who has learned what are high quality pigs and what are mediocre breeds.
Once your pigs are in their houses all you need to do is take good care of them. This can be done by providing them with food and clean water on daily bases. Also remember to clean the pen every every now and then to ensure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A proper pig will produce quality meat thus giving you more revenue.
