When starting out in pig farming you should first plan on where you want your domestic swine to call home. For pig housing you should construct a well aired swine pen which is spacious as well. You must place your pig pen in a flat place that is free from mud that may attract insects.
Your pig pen should be adequate to accommodate your pigs and really 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 6 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 pigs produce you can put hay and straws on the ground. You can also design sections in the house where your swine can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A good roofing is required 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 pig breed for your project. This should be done carefully. Make sure that you purchase your swine from a seller who has found out 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. You can do this by providing them with food plus clean water on daily bases. Keep in mind to clean the pen every every now and then to ensure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A healthy hog will produce quality meat thus giving you more profits.
