When beginning pig farming you should first plan on where you want your domestic swine to call home. For pig housing you should 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 pigs and should be comfortable to your pigs as well. To make it comfortable you may install hog wire and concrete slabs. The fence must be buried 6 inches deep in the ground so that 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 can even design parts in the pen where your pigs can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A good roofing is required as well to protect your swine from extreme weather like heat and rain.
After you have designed a pig pen you then go ahead in getting the right pig breed for your project. This must be done carefully. Make sure that you buy your pigs from a seller who knows 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 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 pig will produce quality meat thus bringing you more revenue.
