When beginning pig farming you should first plan on where you want your domestic swine to call home. For pig housing you must construct a well ventilated swine pen which is spacious as well. You must place your swine pen in a flat place that is free from mud that may attract insects.
Your pig pen must be adequate to accommodate your swines 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 make sure that the floor is proper and easy to clean.
To absorb odours that the swine produce you may put hay and straws on the floor. You may also design sections in the pen where your swine can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A good roofing is necessary 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 choosing the right swine breed for your project. This must 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 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 plus clean water on daily bases. Also remember to clean the pen every once in a while to make sure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A healthy hog will produce quality meat thus giving you more revenue.
