When starting out in pig farming you should first plan on where you want your pigs to call home. For pig housing you must construct a well ventilated pig pen which is spacious as well. You must place your swine pen in a flat place that is free from mud that can being insects.
Your pig pen should be adequate to accommodate all your domestic swine and really should be comfortable to your pigs as well. To make it comfortable you can install hog wire plus concrete slabs. The surrounding fence should 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 odours that the pigs produce you may put hay and straws on the ground. You may also design areas in the pen where your swine can feed, rest and relieve themselves. A good roofing is required as well to protect your pigs 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 needs 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 pigs are in their houses all you need to do is take good care of them. This can be done by providing them with food plus clean water on daily bases. Remember to clean the pen every every now and then to ensure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A healthy hog will produce quality meat thus bringing you more revenue.
