When beginning pig farming you should first plan on where you want your swines to call home. For pig housing you should construct a well ventilated pig pen which is spacious as well. You must place your swine pen in a flat area that is free from mud that may attract insects.
Your swine pen should be large enough to accommodate all your domestic swine and should be comfortable to your pigs as well. To make it comfortable you can install hog wire plus 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 odors that the pigs produce you may put hay plus straws on the ground. You can also design sections in the pen where your swine can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A nice 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 choosing the right swine breed for your task. This should be done carefully. Make sure that you purchase your pigs 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 have to do is take good care of them. This can be done by providing them with food and clean water everyday. Keep in mind to clean the pen every every now and then to ensure that bacteria doesn’t develop in the pen. A proper hog will produce quality meat thus giving you more revenue.
