When starting out in pig farming you should first plan on where you want your swines to call home. For pig housing you should 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 may attract insects.
Your pig pen must be large enough to accommodate all of your pigs and really should be comfortable to your swine as well. To make it comfortable you can install hog wire plus concrete slabs. The fence must 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 odours that the pigs produce you may put hay and straws on the floor. You can even design parts in the pen where your swine can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A good roofing is necessary as well to protect your pigs from extreme weather like heat and rainfall.
After you have designed a pig pen you then go ahead in getting the right swine breed for your project. This must be done carefully. Make sure that you buy your swine from a seller who has learned 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 once in a while to ensure that bacteria doesn’t develop in the pen. A healthy hog will produce quality meat thus bringing you more profits.
