When starting out in 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 being insects.
Your pig pen should be large enough to accommodate all your pigs 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 six 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 smells that the swine produce you can put hay and straws on the floor. You can also design areas in the pen where your swine can feed, rest and relieve themselves. A good roofing is necessary as well to protect your pigs from extreme weather like heat and rainwater.
After you have designed a pig pen you then go ahead in getting the right pig breed for your project. 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. You can do this by providing them with food and clean water on daily bases. Also remember to clean the pen every every now and then to ensure that bacteria doesn’t develop in the pen. A healthy hog will produce quality meat thus bringing you more profits.
