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 pig pen which is spacious as well. You should place your swine pen in a flat area that is free from mud that may being insects.
Your pig pen must be large enough to accommodate your swines and really should be comfortable to your swine as well. To make it comfortable you may install hog wire and concrete slabs. The surrounding fence should 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 swine produce you can put hay and straws on the ground. You can even design areas in the house where your pigs can feed, rest and relieve themselves. A nice 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 pig breed for your project. This should be done carefully. Make sure that you buy your swine 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. This can be done by providing them with food and clean water on daily bases. Keep in mind to clean the pen every occasionally to make sure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A healthy pig will produce quality meat thus giving you more profits.
