When beginning 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 should place your swine pen in a flat area that is free from mud that may attract insects.
Your pig pen must be large enough to accommodate all your domestic swine and really should be comfortable to your swine as well. To make it comfortable you may 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 ensure that the floor is proper and easy to clean.
To absorb odors that the pigs produce you may put hay and straws on the floor. You may also design sections in the pen where your swine can feed, sleep and relieve themselves. A nice roofing is required as well to protect your swine from extreme weather like heat and rainwater.
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 purchase your swine from a seller who knows 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. This can be done by providing them with food and clean water everyday. Keep in mind to clean the pen every once in a while to make sure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A healthy pig will produce quality meat thus bringing you more profits.
