When beginning pig farming you should first plan on where you want your pigs 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 place that is free from mud that can attract insects.
Your swine pen should be adequate to accommodate all of your pigs and really should be comfortable to your pigs as well. To make it comfortable you may install hog wire plus concrete slabs. The fence must be buried 6 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 may also design parts in the house 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 designed 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 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 plus clean water everyday. Keep in mind to clean the pen every once in a while to ensure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A healthy pig will produce quality meat thus bringing you more profits.
