When starting out in pig farming you should first plan on where you want your swines to call home. For pig housing you must construct a well ventilated swine pen which is spacious as well. You must place your pig pen in a flat area that is free from mud that can being insects.
Your pig pen should be large enough to accommodate your entire domestic swine and should be comfortable to your pigs as well. To make it comfortable you may install hog wire and 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 odors that the pigs produce you may put hay and straws on the floor. You can also design parts in the pen where your pigs can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A good roofing is needed as well to protect your swine from extreme weather like heat and rainwater.
After you have designed a pig pen you then go ahead in getting the right swine 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 plus clean water everyday. Also remember to clean the pen every every now and then to ensure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A proper pig will produce quality meat thus bringing you more revenue.
