When beginning pig farming you should first plan on where you want your swines to call home. For pig housing you must construct a well aired swine pen which is spacious as well. You should place your swine pen in a flat area that is free from mud that can being insects.
Your swine pen should be large enough to accommodate all of your swines and really should be comfortable to your pigs 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 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 pigs produce you can put hay and straws on the ground. You may also design sections in the house where your swine can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A nice roofing is necessary as well to protect your pigs from extreme weather like heat and rainwater.
After you have built a pig pen you then go ahead in choosing the right swine breed for your task. This needs to 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 and clean water on daily bases. Also remember to clean the pen every occasionally to make sure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A proper hog will produce quality meat thus giving you more income.
