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 pig pen which is spacious as well. You must place your pig pen in a flat place that is free from mud that may attract insects.
Your swine pen should be large enough to accommodate your entire swines and should be comfortable to your swine as well. To make it comfortable you can install hog wire and concrete slabs. The fence must be buried 6 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 swine produce you can put hay and straws on the floor. You can also design parts in the house 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 rain.
After you have built a pig pen you then go ahead in choosing the right swine breed for your task. This has to 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 need to do is take good care of them. You can do this by providing them with food and clean water on daily bases. Remember to clean the pen every occasionally to ensure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A healthy pig will produce quality meat thus bringing you more profits.
