When starting out in 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 should 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 of your domestic swine and should be comfortable to your swine as well. To make it comfortable you can 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 odors that the swine produce you can put hay plus straws on the ground. You can even design areas in the pen where your pigs can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A good roofing is required as well to protect your swine from extreme weather like heat and rainfall.
After you have built a pig pen you then go ahead in getting the right swine breed for your project. This has to be done carefully. Make sure that you buy 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. You can do this by providing them with food plus clean water on daily bases. Remember to clean the pen every once in a while to ensure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A proper hog will produce quality meat thus bringing you more revenue.
