When starting out in pig farming you should first plan on where you want your swines to call home. For pig housing you must construct a well ventilated pig pen which is spacious as well. You should place your pig pen in a flat place that is free from mud that can being insects.
Your swine pen must be large enough to accommodate your domestic swine and should be comfortable to your swine as well. To make it comfortable you may install hog wire and concrete slabs. The fence must be buried six inches deep in the ground so the pigs don’t dig under it. Concrete slabs will ensure that the floor is proper and easy to clean.
To absorb smells that the swine produce you may put hay and straws on the ground. You can even design parts in the pen where your pigs can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A good roofing is necessary as well to protect your swine from extreme weather like heat and rainwater.
After you have designed a pig pen you then go ahead in choosing the right pig breed for your task. This must be done carefully. Make sure that you purchase your pigs from a seller who knows 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 plus clean water everyday. Also remember to clean the pen every occasionally to make sure that bacteria doesn’t develop in the pen. A healthy hog will produce quality meat thus bringing you more revenue.
