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 ventilated swine pen which is spacious as well. You should place your swine pen in a flat place that is free from mud that may attract insects.
Your swine pen should be adequate to accommodate all your pigs and 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 six 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 odors that the pigs produce you can put hay and straws on the floor. You may also design sections in the house where your swine can feed, rest and relieve themselves. A nice roofing is necessary as well to protect your pigs from extreme weather like heat and rainfall.
After you have designed a pig pen you then go ahead in choosing the right swine breed for your project. 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 pigs 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 on daily bases. Keep in mind to clean the pen every once in a while to make sure that bacteria doesn’t grow in the pen. A proper hog will produce quality meat thus bringing you more income.
