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 aired pig pen which is spacious as well. You must place your pig pen in a flat place that is free from mud that may attract insects.
Your swine pen must be large enough to accommodate all your pigs and 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 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 pigs produce you can put hay and 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 necessary as well to protect your pigs from extreme weather like heat and rain.
After you have built a pig pen you then go ahead in choosing the right pig breed for your task. This needs to be done carefully. Make sure that you buy your pigs from a seller who knows 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 plus clean water on daily bases. Keep in mind to clean the pen every once in a while to make sure that bacteria doesn’t develop in the pen. A proper hog will produce quality meat thus giving you more profits.
