When beginning 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 should place your pig pen in a flat area that is free from mud that may attract insects.
Your swine 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 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 ensure that the floor is proper and easy to clean.
To absorb smells that the swine produce you may put hay and straws on the floor. You can even design areas in the house where your swine can feed, rest and relieve themselves. A nice roofing is necessary 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 needs to be done carefully. Make sure that you buy your pigs 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 have to do is take good care of them. You can do this by providing them with food and clean water on daily bases. Keep in mind to clean the pen every once in a while to ensure that bacteria doesn’t develop in the pen. A healthy pig will produce quality meat thus giving you more profits.
