When beginning pig farming you should first plan on where you want your pigs to call home. For pig housing you must construct a well aired pig pen which is spacious as well. You must place your swine pen in a flat place that is free from mud that can attract insects.
Your swine pen should be adequate to accommodate your swines and should be comfortable to your pigs as well. To make it comfortable you may install hog wire and concrete slabs. The surrounding fence should be buried 6 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 smells that the pigs produce you may put hay and straws on the ground. You can also design sections in the house where your pigs can feed, rest and relieve themselves. A nice roofing is needed 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 should 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 pigs 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 everyday. Keep in mind to clean the pen every occasionally to make sure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A proper pig will produce quality meat thus giving you more income.
