When beginning pig farming you should first plan on where you want your domestic swine to call home. For pig housing you should construct a well ventilated pig pen which is spacious as well. You must place your swine pen in a flat place that is free from mud that can being insects.
Your swine pen must be adequate to accommodate all of your swines and should be comfortable to your swine as well. To make it comfortable you can install hog wire and concrete slabs. The surrounding 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 odors that the pigs produce you may put hay and straws on the floor. You may also design parts in the pen where your pigs 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 built a pig pen you then go ahead in choosing the right pig breed for your project. This should 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 swine are in their houses all you have to do is take good care of them. You can do this by providing them with food plus clean water everyday. Also remember to clean the pen every occasionally to ensure that bacteria doesn’t develop in the pen. A proper hog will produce quality meat thus giving you more revenue.
