When starting out in pig farming you should first plan on where you want your pigs to call home. For pig housing you must construct a well ventilated swine pen which is spacious as well. You must place your swine pen in a flat area that is free from mud that may attract insects.
Your swine pen must be adequate to accommodate your entire swines and should be comfortable to your pigs as well. To make it comfortable you may install hog wire plus concrete slabs. The fence should 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 swine produce you may put hay and straws on the floor. You can also design sections 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 built a pig pen you then go ahead in choosing the right swine breed for your project. This has 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 need to do is take good care of them. This can be done by providing them with food plus clean water everyday. Keep in mind to clean the pen every occasionally to make sure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A healthy hog will produce quality meat thus bringing you more profits.
