When starting out in pig farming you should first plan on where you want your domestic swine to call home. For pig housing you should construct a well aired swine pen which is spacious as well. You must place your pig pen in a flat area that is free from mud that may being insects.
Your pig pen must be large enough to accommodate all your pigs and 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 the pigs don’t dig under it. Concrete slabs will make sure that the floor is proper and easy to clean.
To absorb odours that the pigs produce you may put hay plus straws on the floor. You may also design parts in the pen where your pigs can feed, rest and relieve themselves. A good roofing is required 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 choosing the right swine breed for your task. 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 and clean water everyday. Keep in mind to clean the pen every occasionally to make sure that bacteria doesn’t develop in the pen. A healthy pig will produce quality meat thus bringing you more profits.
