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 aired swine pen which is spacious as well. You should place your swine pen in a flat area that is free from mud that can being insects.
Your pig pen should be adequate to accommodate your swines and should be comfortable to your pigs as well. To make it comfortable you can install hog wire plus concrete slabs. The surrounding fence must 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 smells that the pigs produce you may put hay and straws on the ground. You can even design sections in the pen where your swine can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A good roofing is necessary as well to protect your swine from extreme weather like heat and rainwater.
After you have built a pig pen you then go ahead in choosing the right pig breed for your task. This must 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. You can do this by providing them with food and clean water everyday. Remember to clean the pen every occasionally to make sure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A proper hog will produce quality meat thus giving you more income.
