When beginning pig farming you should first plan on where you want your pigs to call home. For pig housing you should construct a well ventilated 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 pig pen must be large enough to accommodate all your swines and really should be comfortable to your pigs as well. To make it comfortable you can 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 smells that the swine produce you can put hay and straws on the ground. You can even design parts in the pen where your pigs can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A nice roofing is necessary as well to protect your swine from extreme weather like heat and rainwater.
After you have built a pig pen you then go ahead in choosing the right pig 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 swine are in their houses all you need to do is take good care of them. You can do this by providing them with food and clean water everyday. Also remember to clean the pen every once in a while to make sure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A proper hog will produce quality meat thus bringing you more profits.
