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 aired pig pen which is spacious as well. You must place your pig pen in a flat area that is free from mud that can attract insects.
Your pig pen must be large enough to accommodate all of your domestic swine and really should be comfortable to your swine as well. To make it comfortable you may install hog wire plus concrete slabs. The fence must be buried six inches deep in the ground so that the pigs don’t dig under it. Concrete slabs will ensure that the floor is proper and easy to clean.
To absorb odours that the pigs produce you can put hay and straws on the floor. You can even design sections in the pen where your pigs can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A good roofing is required as well to protect your pigs from extreme weather like heat and rain.
After you have built a pig pen you then go ahead in choosing the right swine breed for your task. This has to be done carefully. Make sure that you buy your pigs from a seller who has learned what are high quality pigs and what are mediocre breeds.
Once your swine 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. Remember to clean the pen every once in a while to make sure that bacteria doesn’t develop in the pen. A healthy hog will produce quality meat thus giving you more revenue.
