When starting out in pig farming you should first plan on where you want your domestic swine 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 pig pen should be large enough to accommodate all your swines and really should be comfortable to your swine as well. To make it comfortable you can install hog wire plus concrete slabs. The fence should 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 pigs produce you can put hay and straws on the floor. You can even design areas in the house where your pigs can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A nice roofing is needed 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 project. This should be done carefully. Make sure that you buy your swine from a seller who has found out what are high quality pigs and what are mediocre breeds.
Once your swine 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. Remember to clean the pen every occasionally to ensure that bacteria doesn’t develop in the pen. A healthy hog will produce quality meat thus bringing you more revenue.
