When starting out in pig farming you should first plan on where you want your pigs to call home. For pig housing you should construct a well aired swine pen which is spacious as well. You should place your pig pen in a flat place that is free from mud that can attract insects.
Your swine pen should be large enough to accommodate your entire swines and 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 the pigs don’t dig under it. Concrete slabs will make sure that the floor is proper and easy to clean.
To absorb smells that the pigs produce you can put hay and straws on the ground. You can even design parts in the house where your swine can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A nice roofing is needed as well to protect your swine from extreme weather like heat and rainfall.
After you have designed a pig pen you then go ahead in choosing the right swine breed for your task. This must 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. You can do this by providing them with food plus clean water on daily bases. Also remember to clean the pen every every now and then to make sure that bacteria doesn’t develop in the pen. A proper hog will produce quality meat thus bringing you more income.
