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 aired pig 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 should be adequate to accommodate your entire swines and really should be comfortable to your pigs as well. To make it comfortable you can install hog wire and concrete slabs. The surrounding fence should be buried six 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 odours that the swine produce you may put hay plus straws on the ground. You can also design parts in the pen where your pigs can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A nice roofing is needed 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 choosing the right pig breed for your project. This should be done carefully. Make sure that you purchase your pigs 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 have to do is take good care of them. This can be done by providing them with food and clean water on daily bases. Keep in mind to clean the pen every every now and then to ensure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A proper pig will produce quality meat thus bringing you more revenue.
