When starting out in pig farming you should first plan on where you want your swines to call home. For pig housing you must construct a well aired pig pen which is spacious as well. You should place your pig pen in a flat place that is free from mud that may attract 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 can install hog wire plus concrete slabs. The surrounding fence should be buried six 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 may put hay and straws on the ground. You may also design parts in the pen where your swine can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A good roofing is needed as well to protect your swine from extreme weather like heat and rainfall.
After you have built a pig pen you then go ahead in choosing the right pig breed for your task. This needs to be done carefully. Make sure that you buy your swine 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 every now and then to make sure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A proper hog will produce quality meat thus bringing you more income.
