When starting out in 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 must place your pig pen in a flat place that is free from mud that may attract insects.
Your swine pen must be adequate to accommodate all of your swines and really should be comfortable to your pigs as well. To make it comfortable you may 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 make sure that the floor is proper and easy to clean.
To absorb smells that the swine produce you can put hay plus straws on the floor. You may also design sections in the pen where your pigs can feed, rest and relieve themselves. A nice roofing is needed as well to protect your pigs from extreme weather like heat and rainwater.
After you have built a pig pen you then go ahead in getting the right swine breed for your task. This must be done carefully. Make sure that you purchase your swine 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 need to do is take good care of them. This can be done by providing them with food and clean water on daily bases. Remember to clean the pen every occasionally to ensure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A healthy hog will produce quality meat thus bringing you more profits.
